Is movie "Munich" propoganda?

But I do think he has a certain point that such movies act against what I believe is an important war effort.

I think you're right the movie does make you question the War on Terror, so that means the movie is somewhat dishonest or the War on Terror is somewhat questionable. How do you think the movie is dishonest?

The movie was very well done I thought as was its illustration of the inability of violence to solve problems in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Similarly, the most important part of wining the war against Al-Queda and its affiliates does not involve military action. The crucial battle will be the one for hearts and minds of moderate muslims. Of course, OBL and the leaders should be brought to justice, but undermining their recruitment would be far more detrimantal to their cause then merely killing their recruits, their replacements, and their replacements. The Israelis in the movie eventually wondered where it would end, as when they kill one prominient Palestinian, another would replace him and Israelis back home would be subject to reprisal.

No amount of force will convince Al-Queda the US is too powerful to be messed with, more force typically leads to more death and better recruitment. The real battle is for hearts and minds and we are losing that one badly at this time. It will take years to unravel the mess in Iraq and turn the tide of the real battle; I hope the next administration is up for it.
