In many ways, it reenacts the "culture war" that was going on in America when the show started in which liberalism, the counter-culture and the anti-war movement, were in a battle with traditional culture, government, and the military.
On one side, it offers a caricature of the military, which is depicted as an institution based on rules, rank, bureaucracy, hypocrisy, war, and mindless expressions of patriotism.
On the other side, it shows us a group of people who value peace, life, egalitarianism, and a more tolerant view of human nature.

TORONTO -- During the opening prologue to "Taking Sides," the latest effort by director Istvan Szabo ("Sunshine"), a philharmonic orchestra is performing a Beethoven symphony in a magnificent Berlin hall as the sound of explosions from overhead fighter planes intrude upon, but fail to drown out, the concert.
Still, as intellectual exercises go, "Taking Sides" provides ample food for thought in addition to the rock-solid acting and should have little trouble lining up distributors.
Taking place extensively in an old building formerly occupied by the Nazis that has seen its share of mortar shells, the German production bears Hungarian Szabo's customary attention to visual detail.

 Taking Sides Movie: Taking Sides DVD is available from Bestprices.com
Major Steve plays Beethoven on high volume on the office record player, usually to fuel his anger and charge up his finger-pointing interrogation tactics; while David and Emmi--who provide a sideline love story to the plot--simply appreciate the music and Furtwangler's skill in conducting it.
TAKING SIDES depicts the jarring debate between Major Steve and Furtwangler as they discuss art and politics, the separation between the two, the confusion of war, and Furtwangler's potential culpability in having stayed in his homeland of Germany instead of leaving the country to protest the war.

 Taking sides: Haiti
The threats are, in part, a legacy of Haiti's polarized media environment—one in which news outlets themselves became closely tied to political positions at either extreme.
On February 22, after effectively taking control of Haiti's northern region, a group of armed rebels ransacked and torched the offices of the pro-Aristide radio stations Radio Afrika and Radio-Télé Kombit in the city of Cap-Haïtien.
Sources told CPJ that both stations, which are owned by members of the Lavalas party, had been calling for violence against the armed groups before the rebels took over their airwaves.

 Saul Singer on Mideast & U.S. Public Opinion on National Review Online
When asked in a June Gallup poll whether the U.S. should take sides in the conflict, a negligible number said to take the Palestinian side, 18 percent said to take Israel's side, and a whopping 74 percent advised taking neither side.
When Israel and the Palestinians were at Camp David, an honest broker was needed to craft an agreement that met the needs, if not all the dreams, of both parties.
But when one side refused to negotiate, turned over the table, and (a few months later) started shooting, being honest required crying foul.
