Compared to other movies discussing the Iraqi puzzle, this one employs a much more naked way of expression, and presents the paradox of the war's justice right in front of the audience. The plot may be too compact with lots of artificial coincidence happening in a single day. People should consider this as an epitome of the whole war. The dialogue is no longer equivocal. The sergeant mentioned the analogy of American soldiers in Iraq to Iraqi soldiers in Miami at the very beginning of the movie, 'No one like to be invaded'. The following conflicts in the hospital as well as with the domestic policemen illustrate the feeling of normal Iraqi people. Of course, most of the soldiers do not understand. The beliefs like 'Miami is different' or 'We build school and hospital here' are not wrong under the premise that American is the world police. It would be nice to have someone keep the order, however, a war started from the top instead of spontaneously from the people can not really succeed. This movie vividly conveys this idea. Although a little unacceptable for American citizen, it is really edifying for a world citizen from the perspect of globalization.
