This ISN'T about the War of Terrorism.
While looking through my favorite flash site, Newgrounds, I came upon a thought provoking flash movie: (Just Another War (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/215725)). While the author specifically states that this is NOT Earth, the similiarities are remarkable. It shows what could very well be our fate.
Here's what I think of the movie(Im putting it in spoiler since, well, it's a spoiler.
I think this movie shows a paradox of our own world. The Roman-ish people, the carpet bombing, the nukes, all are similar to what we have in our own world. The actual war itself is fought like it probably will be by mid-century=With missiles, long-range projectiles, and airplanes. It shows exactly how one nuke can plunge an entire planet into war. The response to the nuke(which destroys a city), triggers a response from the people who launched the nuke. And then they retaliate.
For me, however, the most important moment of the movie is the end. It shows that even if humanity has almost destroyed itself, we are still brothers one and all. That moment of unity between the two enemy soldiers right before they were vaporized was, to me, very powerful
