New Re: Violence in theatre is different. Addendum
A man learns that his father, an ex-president, was targetted by a Bad man.
He, now a President, selects/fabricates evidence so as to punish that Bad man (already long on his personal agenda and that of his cronies), thus enlists an entire nation and its young expendables - all while ignoring several Other Bad men.

Many people die, the Bad man's country proves a morass of irreconcilable Differences, most persisting over centuries.

Another country, a party to the plan: suffers hundreds dead and a thousand maimed. (Its people blame the pact of support for the invasion of Bad man #1, and now seek to end that support, as they ended that Government.)

Stay tuned for the denouement. Shakespeare would have been proud!

The fault lies not in the stars, dear Brutus, but in ourselves, for we are underlings.

Are you in favor of banning Shakespeare on the grounds that George Bush is an idiot?
