This picture moved along well and ended with the obvious revelation: that the Cold War covert op in 1980s Afghanistan screwed up a lot of things. Though Mr. Wilson and co. had good intentions, the funding to rebuild the war-torn country was sadly neglected. I like to believe the State Dept. learned some valuable lessons here but I doubt it–especially since they were decidedly kept out of Iraq this last go around.
…and, it is nice to see Tom Hanks in a film that doesn’t suck Dan Brown adaptations.
