Noel, I enjoyed this clip. I'd like to see the rest of it, if possible.

It caotures the demeaning attitudes and psychology that accompany colonial and imperialistic occupation and conquest. You can see similar tactics being used today in Iraq and other parts of the world.

What CRAP! Get a life. Learn something other than running your mouth about things that didn't happen and are now subject to your poor revisionist scholarship.
