Well, the sub-prime bubble [http://www.crisisofcredit.com/] was only one visible symptom of a much larger problem that led to the crash, but I still think Wall Street bears a whole lot of the responsibility [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932010]... but I won't get started on our infantile "Free Market" fantasies.
Anyway, The Green Zone. I'll refrain from too much judgment since I haven't seen it and don't plan to, but I would like to address one of Bob's points, about this film being released way too late for it to make a difference: The reason people are still talking about the Iraq War is that we're still IN the Iraq War, and with each passing day, that fact grows more and more preposterous. This still NEEDS talking about, because it's still relevant, because people are still dying. I'm not sure how much it really matters that it's a dumbed-down, over-simplified version of it, Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped, as the ever-addictive TV Tropes would say.
(by the way, I can't be the only one who liked the Bourne trilogy, can I?)
