barbara tuchman might have called it "the guns of september"
oh, what the heck can one say? the miscalculations by the germans, by the israelis, by the terrorists, by the media: if any of them had shown a bit more common sense, this horrific event might well have had a different outcome. half a century after world war 1, english theatrical producer joan littlewood caught the idiocy of all involved in "oh what a lovely war"; perhaps some day when the horrors of the middle east crises are behind us (ha ha ha), another artist will seize upon this bit of madness. a fine documentary if accepted as straight, but the underlying absurdity cant help but osmose through.
