"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Why Don't We Side With the Humans in 'Avatar'?

Sam Parsa: Some baffling questions that arise are (a) Why is it that we find ourselves on the side with the Na’vis? And (b) doesn’t this just mean that it is human to be just?

I would agree with your judgment that it is human to be just. As the movie portray's by the sky people, we must be careful what society tells us is just.
I also would say, that many people make an almost primal connection with the underdog characters, to a way of living that we used to have.. so simple and free... that has long since died off. You can see people's attempt to return to these simpler times in both the eco and minimalist movement. People are finally starting to revolt against excess consumption and environmental plunder... perhaps we will finally start living.?.?.
