Bush Assassinated

Entertainment News: Bush assassinated? New film depicts it

While it may be in poor taste to make this a movie, because it entails acting out an assassination of a sitting president, the idea behind it is very valid. Many people have tried to liken the War on Terrorism to one of the world wars. Both times the wars started, there were "small" wars currently in progress, but something happened to cause the rest of the world to get involved and take sides, save the few "neutral" countries. In World War I it took the assasination of the Arch Duke Ferdinand for everyone to "line up." As such, if we are in a "small" war, what would it take to plunge us into chaos? Are we the precipice of a major catastrophe? What would it take for us to get pushed over the edge?

It's probably better to leave the "what if" games until after the person in question is no longer capable of experiencing the "what if" -- especially since there are those who might want the president dead.

Given that, I stilll would like to see how the movie depicts the situation. If it glamourizes it, I don't support it at all -- but if it's a fair treatment of the situation, it might be educational.

The best history books are written after the passion of the issue is gone, or at least diminished; "modern" history does have its place, though.
