I don't know if I consider Frost/Nixon a Cold War film. Its central conflict is about Watergate, which was a political scandal and, as far as I know, not really related to the Vietnam War or any other Cold War issues.

Great film though.

Soros is an American citizen. Why all this talk about "foreign money"?

I still remember when his story broke during the Gaza war. It was heartbreaking to hear him on the phone, weeping for his daughters. When he tried to give a press conference later at the hospital, an angry Israeli mother broke in and accused him of being a Hamas supporter and having hidden fighters in his apartment. It was an ugly moment, showing just how deeply the two sides have come to distrust one another after decades of violence while political leaders continue to fail them.

Now that Netanyahu and Hamas are in control, peace looks ever more distant.

Here's hoping the furor over the G20 events leads to a more vigilant public when it comes to civil rights.
