I agree with this comment, i've veiwed the growing violence theme in lego
themes over the years with sorrow. Admittedly it started a long time ago
with castle but the emphasis was never on violence, the fighting was never
mentioned and there was not even a 'goodie' or 'baddy'
having said that it has to be said that blowing people up with planes was
not invented this month, one example, the US (and UK) has been bombing Iraq
since the gulf war, it just happens that Iraq is (presumably) not a large
market for lego.
