They did show a negative image of pakistani peace keepers as individual force.The fact is US and Pakistani troops were under a single UN command.\nSecondly pakistani troops saved amercian ass and more pakistani soldiers died than americans on that day.\nHollywood did not showed that.

L'opinion: Pakistan needs UN and OIC umbrella to send peace-keeping forces to Iraq\nIraq-Pakistan, Politics, 7/21/2003 \n\nPakistan will only send peace-keeping missions to Iraq under a mandate of the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Pakistani president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who paid an official visit to Morocco, told Morocan daily "L'opinion."\n\nMusharraf said Pakistan has not yet made a decision regarding a request to send troops to Iraq for a peace-keeping mission, underlining that the final decision should serve Pakistan's national interests and its relations with Islamic countries in the region.\n\nOn the situation in the Middle East, Musharraf said the only means to establish sustainable peace in the region goes through carrying on negotiations that would lead to a comprehensive and fair solution in conformity with United Nations resolutions and based on the legitimate right of the Palestinian people of self-determination.\n\nEvoking Arab Maghreb countries' position on the Kashmir question, the Pakistani president underscored that he is certain that these countries fully understand Pakistan's position concerning its support for a peaceful solution to the conflict.\n\nMusharraf also said Pakistani authorities do not have any new information about where Ussam Bin Laden is, underlining that they don't know for sure if he is dead or still alive. In the same vein, he hoped Pakistani-Afghan relations would be further reinforced on the basis of mutual sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of the other party.\n\nHe added that Pakistan is participating in the re-construction of Afghanistan and that it fully supports the interim administration of president Hamid Karazay.

Here is my opinion...From what I have seen, Pakistan has been (as a country) cooperative in dealing with violence and terrorism (the War on Terror, if you will...) But as previously stated, there are violent people in ALL societies. To believe that World Peace will ever happen, is a fantasy. I am not being negative, it is just not a possibility in this world. Everyone should look at people as individuals instead of lumping them together with the other people that live in their city, state, country, etc. I know I don't want to be judged based on the things my neighbors do! :)

After dumping his Buddy Musharraf,Bush is after India....the way pakistan lend its hand of assistance for BUSH in the war aginst terrorism,they deserve much more from the US.Now,its India,bush is promising the world and exploiting again all the possibilities india could render to the US.....The way Bush's snifer dogs sniffed the Mahatma Gandhi's memorial,no-one on earth would dare to do the same if anyone wanted to visit any memorial in the US the way Bush did,how incensitive to other peoples sentiment.If the Indian security force hadnt posses the capability to secure the US president,the why the US authority has promised to sell more F-16's and F-18's and going ahead with the neuclear deal?Arent those weapons meant for So-Called responsible and able Forces?? can anyone name any other single country thats HYPOCRYTIC to that core like the US??

America is clearly seeing its own interests and is supporting a country who will be able to help them in future. And clearly  this country is india and not pakistan since india is stronger economically, technologically, militarily and is becoming an important global player. This has nothing to to do with peace in the Indian subcontinent or with ethics.

There was one and only one US Marine killed during Operation Just Cause (Panama Invasion). CPL Garreth C. Isaak, 2nd Marine Division, from Greenville SC. I don't recall his name being featured in Black Hawk Down, but I guess it is possible, though as one poster pointed out that would be a bit odd. (Why would a Marine's name from an invasion of Panama nearly a decade earlier be part of a movie about an Army Operation half a world away?). P.S. If you know why this was done - please e-mail me, I am very curious. Sounds like one of those great pieces of trivia I can unload on my friends - :-)

PAKISTAN HAS A BIG BIG IMPORTANCE IN THE WORLD MAP.........I WOULD LIKE to know that what importance do you have in the world? wash your tongue before speaking anything bad about pakistan! huh

Yes, Presidential Death Match!  The winner of the fight represents the US in wars over seas where the leaders of 2 Nations have an all out battle.  We could even do giant robots with people inside, I saw a movie like this once.  The winner gets the others territories, unfortunately I think we would all be living under Alqaida rule because Bin Laden would kick GW's butt in a real fight one on one.  I would have to vote for Chuck Norris in the next election or maybe Mike Tyson, ROFL.

If you want to label Pakistan as a terrorist state, please also include the US for their support to the Mujaheddin during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and their support for Israel in Palestine. Please also include India for their support to East Pakistan (Bangladesh) during the 1971 crises. An irony of history is that the winning side is always the one to decide who the terrorists are. In Pakistan's case, that question has not been decided as yet so lets not get hasty with our conclusions!\n\nIf you are comparing the leadership of Pakistan with Saddam Hussain's leadership, I am sorry, but either you are trying to exaggerate an issue out of proportion or you have no idea what you are talking about. Its because of thinking like this why peace can never be achieved. Why not engage your time constructively rather than by trying (and failing miserably) to create rifts?

I loved far. 9-11 its really opened up my eyes. So what if its one sided. Its a side we needed to hear and see. Alot of people are blinded by the ways of the government. Mr. Moore wanted to show the movie before the elections but wasn't able to. It think it would have changed alot of peoples minds on who they were going to elect. It sure helped me pick who i KNEW would protect our country, our families, our troops. The end of the movie is what really got me. When Mr. Moore asked some gov. officials to sign a petition to allow THEIR children to be sent off to war. They pretty much said NO. They didn't want to risk their child's life. But any other American family is encouraged to send their children out to war. As for pickin president. It was a popularity contest between demos and repubs. Who can manipulate the people into voting for them. I don't vote for a person by their elephant or donkey pins but by how they are going to represent us as a country and protect us. In my eyes, bush has failed us, more ways than just one or two.\n\nbtw. A lot of people criticize Moore for his work, because they don't agree with some truths. Bowling for Columbine was a great film as well. They will call him a liar. But i do find lots of truths in his films.

Does not look like it.\n\nWe are on the brink of the collapse of the post 1989 efforts by the US to prevent nuclear proliferation.\n\nThere is no consensus over a strategy in the US over the issue, other than the declarations by all Politicians that proliferation will not be tolerated. \n\nAmerica rhetoric has been shown to be toothless. \nIn the case of Pakistan and India.\n\nIt is entirely possible that Pakistan either instigated or allowed 9/11 as a response to the puny sanctions imposed after their nuclear test. \nThe sanctions threatened the long term, Cold War, alliance between the US and Pakistan. \nAn alliance which blocked India's ability to invade and occupy Pakistan as a response to Pakistan's continual terrorist provocations in Kashmir.\n\n"See what we can do if you try to isolate us"\n\nPressure and carrots on N. Korea have proven equally futile.\n\nForce was not considered an option by policy makers, as action against the 1 million strong NK army with Seoul within artillery range would have ensured massive destruction \n\nThe only levers of power are held by China, which has chosen not to exercise them until after N K recent test.\n\nAnd then only to push them into the interminable six party talks. No doubt designed by the Chinese to further split the US allies and weak US influence in the region.\n\nBush's efforts in Iraq should in my view be seen as a belated attempt to use US force as a way to intimidate Iran into giving up ite nuclear ambitions.\n\nIraq was rightly seen as an easy target to make this point.\n\nIt worked on Colonel Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi.who admitted and ended his non-declared nuclear programme in 2003 \n\nIn Iraq the indiscriminate sectarian wanton destruction engaged in by those opposing US policy, has tied down the US army in a quagmire with no seeming option but to admit impotence and leave.\n\nThe US political establishment has still not taken a final decision on what it's stance will be\n\nHence the timely Question.\n\nIs there another possible solution?

It goes way back to the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets. When Afghanistan was invaded hard-line Fundamentalist moved to Pakistan. They effectively took over the civil government and the military. They are not as extreme as the Taliban who took over Afghanistan when the Soviets withdrew, but they were sufficiently radicalized that they brought a certain amount of fear to the population. Those who could, did get out. They moved to the UK, Canada, and the US. Pakistan, while not exactly up there with India in opportunity, is not as poor as imagined, the migration was primarily to leave Pakistan for a safer place to live. As you know, Pakistan is now a nuclear nation, so there is some validity to the concern.

Hello Hashi,\n  OK call me crazy if you wish, BUT, all I know is if I lived in a neighborhood where everyone around me has a gun (bomb?) and one of them has been in a continual gun battle with one of my religious brothers (Palestine / Israel.) Then there's the other one that invaded my next door neighbors house to steal all his valuables (oil,political freedom,will) (US / Iraq) and to add insult to injury, he's not even from around here to begin with! Yeah call me crazy! I definitely would want my own gun. Wait a minute, they DO call me crazy!\n\nAs a side note, I think we should not be so damn cozy with Pakistan either, it appears that the Musharraf's Mob is playing serious games with us, both on the capture of bin Laden and the sale of nuclear secrets to not only Iran, but also Libya and North Korea.

It is a rather interesting movie.  Sort of a fish bowl outlook on life.  Below is a link to the official site, for anyone that is interested.
