We didn't set out to remake the Rambo story, we just tried to reflect what is really happening in Iraq.

These were only a few of the human rights violations by the U.S. in Iraq that the press covered and we followed. We did not intend to insult American people or their values, but only wanted to portray a real tragedy there.

We are speaking out against the war, the occupation and the human rights violations. We in no way wanted to exploit prejudices.
