No you shouldn't have

Emily, one of the funniest bloggers around is slightly, ahem, miffed about the movie Munich.

"I knew I shouldn't have watched Munich, but I just did."

"...Munich is not a film about events, but false ideals. It asks what I consider to be all the wrong questions while refusing to assign evil, no matter how blatant it may be. It implies that fighting against those that would destroy us because our tradition offends their own only makes our enemies more determined, largely suggesting that we should let those who believe Jews should be driven into the sea and Israel wiped off the map roll right over us because they're mad about history that noone can change."

Her whole riff is really interesting and of course, there are some very funny bits, especially her ironic use of the word fuck.
