Okay, okay. Perhaps I phrased that badly, as when I said violent I was
thinking of guerilla warfare and the like, but I stand behind my
original intent, i.e., We don't understand that why of the war culture.
I'd just like to say, however, that using The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as
an example as the violence in American culture just plain doesn't wash.
There is absolutely no comparison between that and this. Teenagers
watching horror flicks don't grow up to bomb cities.
Regards,
Cecilia.
