What 'Munich' Left Out - The Archive - The New York Times

What 'Munich' Left Out - The Archive - The New York Times

I missed this analysis when 'Munich' first appeared. I think Brooks is right about Spielberg, but both miss the underlying spiritual battle that froths up into perpetual violence. Instead, they tend to believe that rational negotiations will lead to success in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Not in our lifetimes. Correctly, Brooks sees the need to eradicate the terrorists and fully recognizes today's Islamic radicalism as a catalyst in the conflict.
