Thanks indeed for the review; one Spielberg film i'm looking forward to (more than most). I'd gathered before its release he was determined to make the point about unthinking revenge against "terrorism", which in the light of brutal reactions following 9/11, undermining human rights and the so-called moral high ground, is pretty important at this time. I understand he's surprised many by not being more partially pro-Israel, but he's a decent guy wanting to understand, rather than some gung-ho Zionist.
