	One thing that quite a few people are upset about (not the
Jerry Falwell types, but those more moderate) is not that the
show was made, or that it is being shown, but rather the timing.
Things are very touchy in Europe right now about the missle
deployment, scheduled for a couple months from now. As the 60 Minute
report stated, the movie will be releases in European theaters
just weeks before deployment. Those responsible were quoted as stating
that they were doing this to try and influence their leaders' 
decisions. All in all, I don't consider the television and movie
industry as qualified to run foreign policy. Why, next we'll have
an actor as president!

	Any more discussion of this should probably move to net.politics
