Munich

Munich is another good tough movie. Steven Spielberg directs it with even handed intelligence and compassion. The message: revenge begets revenge which in turn begets revenge which begets more revenge ad infinitum. I wonder what might have happened, how history might have been changed, if Golda Meier has talked to the terrorists who killed the Israeli athletes instead of ordering them killed by a team of Israeli terrorists.

There are some people who say you never give in to ultimatums because you set a precedent and it never stops.

This movie shows that responding in kind sets up a never ending blood feud.
