    I saw the movie last night, very good, unfortunately. Don't take your
    kids it is very violent and bloody. I was upset at how the movie
    tended to make it appear that the war was over the diamonds. Not a
    cival war that the rebels were using the diamonds to buy weapons to
    fight the existing government The average citizen is not going to
    catch or understand the difference. But I suppose if they are too
    average to understand that they probably won't care either. Maybe I
    should stop worring about it, and I am not going to mention to my
    customers that alot of other gemstones have similar problems at their
    source. But a nice big list of other products that we all use that
    cause misery around world might be worth mentioning. Oil should be at
    the top of the list. Oil was mentioned in the movie but it was
    subtitled, as the character was speaking another language. Wonder how
    many of my " average " people missed that too.
