- Regarding the situation in Iraq at the moment and the
continuing scandal over the torture and murder of Iraqi prisoners, I'm
put in mind of Sergio Leone's wonderful film "The Good, The Bad And
The Ugly".
-
- As most people will remember, the character played by
Clint Eastwood, the mysterious poncho clad cheeroot smoker and bounty hunter,
captures Eli Wallach and rides into town with him strapped to his horse.
-
- Eastwood arrives at the sheriff's office, dismounts and
enters the office. Some moments later the sheriff appears and Wallach exclaims
"Ha! One bastard goes in and another bastard comes out".
-
- Any similarities between the characters portrayed in
the film and America's actions in Iraq are, I'm sure, purely coincidental.
