You get series like 24 which make out that the Middle Eastern Countries are always the people behind the terrorist act. Can't tv or fims put countries like Australia or Italy as terrorists why does it always have to be the countries around the Middle East!

I think its wrong because there is alot of trouble and conflict in middle east that tv or film shouldn't use those countries becuase there tv producers, writers are just trying to make the tv series realistic. Do you agree?

The worst example of this was The Sum of All Fears. Not only was it a hideously bad film, but they portrayed nearly every Eastern Bloc and Asian country as evil terrorists, complete with shifty eyes and evil accents. And Affleck is a nob.

Didn't the original 24 bad guys, once they got more cash to make more, turn into Bonsnian (or was it Serbian) terrorists lead by Dennis Hopper?

Why shouldn't the programme be realistic? What would you do, have talking dogs?
