Here's War of the Worlds screenwriter David Froeep, describing his film:

And now, as we see American adventure abroad,” he continues “in my mind it’s certainly back to it’s original meaning, which is that the Martians in our movie represent American military forces invading the Iraqis, and the futility of the occupation of a faraway land is again the subtext.”

Here is him again, from USA Today:
