I just got back from "Syriana", question away
If you'd like to understand the arab world into a deeper depth look for an old Time magazine article from the 1960's called "Dead Hand of the Ottomans". It's a poorly written article that is very long but it will give you a solid base of understanding about the Arab world.

3. It was good
It tries to piece together many aspects of the ME, the western investers, and political leaders.

2. What did the movie have in it about peak oil?
Was there anything doom-a-licious?

4. I just got back
and I have to say that as much as I do understand about all of this there are parts I am still trying to figure out.

It was wonderful to go to a movie once again that made me think and did not make me jump with bangs and car chases.

I loved it and there were only about 10 people in the theater so it was quiet.

I have to say it one more time...I LOVE Jeffery Wright, just love him.

I thought it was a well done movie that tied a lot of things together and made some interesting but frightening points.
