Can't help thinking of the pardoned Marc Rich

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2002)

Black Hawk Down is a mesmerizing film and for me disturbing by the fact that a corrupt government in Somalia can have very expensive military arms and no food for the population. I'm not naive and I consider myself to be more of a hawk than dove but the permeating thoughts in my mind during the movie was how much money is made by arms dealers. Clinton's pardoned arms dealer, Marc Rich, is a very rich man because of deals to very poor countries who can pull enough cash together for arms. Watching this movie I saw in my mind blood on the hands of international arms dealers. See the movie.
