From a NY Times article by Caryn James on the political nature of this year's Best Foreign Film nominees:

A Palestinian about to carry out a suicide bombing in "Paradise Now" asks his partner, "Are we doing the right thing?" The film raises some of the same questions "Munich" does, but from the opposite side of the Middle East divide: what is the personal cost, and the effectiveness, of political assassination?

First of all, to call suicide bombing "political assassination" is about as Orwellian a turn of phrase as one can invent. Is this to say that attempting to kill a president or other government official is the same as blowing up a disco or a bus filled with kids?

Israelis trying to kill terrorists after they've committed murder and acts of war. Terrorists sent to kill innoent civilians including the elderly and children. Same thing.
