" Over There ": Preemptive War as Entertainment

The FX Channel has a 13-episode series called " Over There ". The title seems to be borrowed from George M. Cohan's righteous and rousing World War I fight song. But the Iraq war was a war of choice. Righteous does not fit this war's discription. A nation that embraces preemptive war as an option sooner or later will end up being entertained by war and having war as an occupation. Art reflects life.
