 Guardian Unlimited Film | Features | The prescience of The Battle of Algiers
Pontecorvo was a politically committed film-maker, a Marxist who had joined the anti-fascist resistance in Italy during the second world war, and his film came out of a desire to dramatise and humanise the struggle against colonialism.
If the key text of the time was Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, published in 1961 with an introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre, then The Battle of Algiers, which was banned in France for several years, could be seen as its cinematic equivalent.
Such was the spirit of the mid-60s, at least among the kind of people who went to art-house cinemas, that Pontecorvo seems to have taken it for granted that his audience's sympathy would instinctively side with the rebellious Algerians, the Muslims of the casbah.

Somehow, it is easier to protest Starbucks's treatment of farmers in Latin America than to ask your uncle if he employs children in his factory, or where he discharges the waste from it.
Many historians and scientists trace much of the current destruction of the natural environment to the Western notion, drawn from religious texts, that man has dominion over the earth.
The idea that the earth is something to be exploited for the betterment of a supreme species is egoistic at best, and at worst, as we are slowly learning, completely ruinous.

 The Philosophy of War [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Interestingly, even Voltaire, the embodiment of the Enlightenment, followed this line: "Famine, plague, and war are the three most famous ingredients of this wretched world...All animals are perpetually at war with each other...Air, earth and water are arenas of destruction." (From Pocket Philosophical Dictionary).
Alternatively, the Oxford Dictionary expands the definition to include "any active hostility or struggle between living beings; a conflict between opposing forces or principles." This avoids the narrowness of a political-rationalist conception by admitting the possibility of metaphorical, non-violent clashes between systems of thought, such as of religious doctrines or of trading companies.
Wherein lies its cause then becomes the intellectual quest: in the medieval understanding of the universe, the stars, planets and combinations of the four substances (earth, air, water, fire) were understood as providing the key to examining human acts and dispositions.
