Sicario: a good piece for homeland-security conservatives

This is the movie that denies Hollywood’s liberal leaning.The whole story is about the past old days when just one cartell distributed, with the CIA’s backing, drugs in the US.

The main character, an assassin for the emerging Colombian drug lords, says to the idealistic FBI agent, played by Emily Blunt, that till the 20 per cent of the society can not live without drugs, it is better to have a control over the drug market than the free-market competition, which is today’s practice.

The quest in the movie for some important information also makes it evident that in the land of wolves, people ,working for the human world, need to take every illegal steps to protect their people. The help of an obsessed Colombian assassin, an FBI safeguarded CIA plot to shake up the drug market, the orders from democratically elected politicians are all helping the brave act to reach its purpose.

The laws that are tresspassed are the collateral damage we have to stomach in order to protect our normal life if we do not want to reach Mexico’s level of living.

Reaching the end, I had two conclusions. Sirico tells more about the real world than any New York Times piece can say. It also supports the thesis that protecting our order based on the rule of law needs unlawful means.

I also concluded that if I were a PR guy for the National Security Council or the CIA, I would recommended to support this film with any tools we had at our disposal. It is a medium more useful than hundreds of background meeting with sympatethic journalists.
