Column: The Need for Somalian Intervention, Revisited
08 August 2011
By Tyler Cusick
As I wrote in last October, America should lead the international community into action in Somalia.

Instead of portraying a world consumed by fear and dread, the film was a freewheeling comedy that explored the recreational possibilities of an existence without rules. His latest film, "30 Minutes or Less," finds him once again taking what should be a morbid premise and mining it for laughs. It's less consistent than his last film, but when it throws caution to the wind, the film has its fair share of R-rated joys.
