I think he's completely wrong.
The last 20 minutes of the movie is how Mr. Wilson, dispite spending $500 million fighting the Soviet Union, couldn't even get $1 million to build a school. He cites that half the population is under the age of 15 and cannot be swayed by extremists... as young people in these kind of situations generally do. The last scene of the movie is Gust telling the Congressmen that the young people have begun to organize into terrorist orginizations like the Taliban.
Even the last line of the movie is, "These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world . . . and then we fucked up the end game"... and then it goes to the credits.
Quite frankly I don't think the author of that Op-Ed even saw the movie... though I think you should. Why don't you wanna see it in theatres?
It's not that I don't wan't to. I am the live-in guardian for my elderly parents. We have a lady who comes in during the week, but she leaves about 1 pm. I am not complaining (my folks are wonderful), but I only get out for errands.

Oh, I was afraid you just hated the atmasphere (expensive tickets, expensive food, ass holes in the theatre, etc.).
Atmittidly, I do to sometimes. I hate high school kids who think they're cool cause they can stay out later than 11...
I'm just gonna stop before this turns into a rant.
