As the war/not a war with Iran does/doesn't trundle on, we look at Charlie Wilson's War, a film about a much less direct but just as impactful age-of-stupid era excursion into the Region courtesy of another womanising politician. Sound familiar? Then buckle up as we let history run roughshod over this historically iffy biopic into US foreign policy in the 80s (it was bad).
