Warning: This review reveals the ending. If you never studied ancient history and don't already know the ending, or if you have been asleep like Rip van Winkle the past 6 years and you don't want to know how the current week ends, don't read this.

The movie "300" is an extremely accurate portrayal of the last 6 years of human history, right up to the final few minutes. The Muslim extremists attack and issue demands that the USA bow down and convert to Islam, but George W. Bush says "No way Jose!" He concludes that the time is now to go to war against the extremists, but the politicians in congress are indecisive and demand that he climb up the UN building and consult the UN Security Council, which is a bunch of decrepit old perverts who spend their time accepting bribes such as the Oil-for-Food Program money and dallying with near-naked young ladies whom they call "oracles." The Muslim extremists give them bushels of gold and promise them more young near-naked oracles, and so they tell George Bush that they won't approve going to war now.

George then gathers a few Marines and other soldiers around him and marches off to delay the Persian hordes until the rest of western civilization can get off its duff and decide to do something. He meets up with Tony Blair and a few other coalition members who have decided to help out too. They fight bravely and the Persian army is partially destroyed and much delayed.

Meanwhile, John Murtha is arguing in congress that we shouldn't be going to war against the Muslim extremists. He makes a lecherous advance toward Laura Bush, and then he lies about it and insults her and her husband while she is speaking to a joint session of congress. This is where the movie deviates from historical truth and enters the realm of fantasy.

She grabs a .357 Sig-Sauer from a Secret Service agent's holster and shoots Murtha dead. She happens to hit him right in his money belt, and gold coins from the Muslim extremists pour out all over the floor and the rest of congress realizes he's a traitor.

The rest of western civilization wakes up to the danger of Muslim extremism and marches out and defeats the Persian hordes.

In real life, of course, what happens is that Murtha is never shot, more surender-monkey supporters get elected to congress, George W. Bush's approval ratings go down, western civilization slumbers on, and the Persian hordes continue their march.

The fictional ending was much more satisfying, but unfortunately western civilization has declined much since 2001 and isn't capable of rousing itself to fight the enemy. We may have to watch the sequel, if one is made, in about 25 years to see how the story will really end, either with the defeat of the Persian hordes or the destruction of western civilization.
