And it's definitely a 'dude' freak out, not so much the ladies. I think the men are getting a bit hysterical and should probably calm down. And smile more.

I've asked people this: How does your not voting help the Gazans? I do not get a clear answer. So bascially, it's about them feeling better about themselves.

And the Bosnians, particularly in Sarajevo, just could not believe it could happen, that it would be allowed to happen.

I'm actually sympathetic toward "not voting because of genocide" because I went through a similar process in 1996 because of Clinton 's handling of Bosnia and Rwanda. But I'm not a single issue voter when it comes to the presidency.

Oh, it's a personal preference. If your goal is stopping the genocide then your not voting doesn't make a difference in that, it just makes you feel better about yourself.

I believe that Israel is commiting genocide in Gaza and that the US response has been horrible. But I'm also old enough to realize a lot of 'support' for Palestinians is often less actual support and more about 'look at me, I'm so virtuous!'

Everyone will have to make their own choice: is Gaza your primary focus, above anything else foreign or domestic. Is your goal harm reduction for Palestianians? Does your non-vote achieve that?

He presents himself as this truthteller about American wrong doing, and swears he doesn't really like Milosevic, Assad, Hussein, Putin, and other dictators. But, he often ends up parrotting their propaganda and/or defending them in less obvious ways. With Milosevic, it was more obvious.

The characters are unlikeable, though I often had twinges of sympathy for the Logan kids. But the writing is top-notch, as is the acting. Also moments of very dark humor. So yes, if that's your thing, give it a shot.

My Mom was alive back in summer of 1992, when the news of the Bosnian camps came out. Mom's response was: I don't to know all the details to know how bad it is. Did I heed this a few years later, when I started reading about Bosnia/Rwanda/genocide in general? No, I did not, took me a few years.
