Fahrenheith 9/11

[Meg888]

Did anyone see this? I thought it was a brilliant insight into the GWBush presidency & the war in Iraq/Afghan - the real stories though, as told by soldiers, their families and the victims of 9/11.

It beggars belief how GWB, his cronies & our very own Tony gets away with it. If true, it's not much different to Saddam, don't you think - but will anyone hunt GWB/TB down like a dog & hang them? I very much doubt it

The whole sorry mess just goes to proves the saying....

power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

when someone takes on public office they cease to be a real person living in the real world. Somehow they create their own world and in doing so corrupt the real one.

I have given all this plenty of thought and I don't see how we can change this scenario for the better....(apart from appointing me as a benevolent dictator....lol).......any serious ideas greatfully accepted!

I saw this about a year ago and was so sad to see the reality of war by those who are in the middle of it! My hubby served in Iraq in 2003 and they whole contry is in even more mess.

Liberating the country of Saddam (strangly enough) was the wrong thing to do in my opinion. What he has been replaced with are rebels from all angles. Saddam was a bad man, but he would never have left the insergents in like this!

It was ok but not a patch on bowling for columbine.

America should have secured the boarders with more troops from the begining. But if it was really to free people of Iraq it wouldn't be in a mess.

trust me there's so many of us here in the US who wish someone would. it's like watching a train wreck .. after 9/11 we had so many people on our side GWB managed to make everyone turn on us we all agreed to sending our troops to Afgh. but Iraq?! for christ's sake; not only are our boys dying but ya'll in the UK have paid a high price for this guys choice too. it's too sad. we've had enough victims...time to get the hell out btw; if you liked moore's farh. 911 you should def. see Sicko

Stupid white men - michael moores book is worth a read to.

The scariest part the other night was george being told the country was under a serious terrorist attack so he carried on reading a book about a goat....

[Loosehead]

Yes it's triumph, a master class in how to selectively pick facts to back up your point of view. This is the master capitalist at work, Moore is a genius at selling part truths to the Gullible. Get real people if you believe all this is a fair representation then you are truly dim. Have you heard of the new Moor film, due next year? The Evil of Mother Theresa!

Oh and that bit about him reading the book, oh dear oh dear, Initially the first plane was though to be a light aircraft accidentally hitting the building, that's how it was first reported, even on the BBC, that's what they told dubya. Of Course Moor wouldn't want that to get in the way of some lefty propaganda!

Seen Bowling for Columbine? how Charlton Heston's interview was cut about? Check out the clock behind him.

Open your eyes people!

[andrea81]

Looshead, I'm not sure what your backgroud is but anyone who served out there will tell you how pointless it is to be out there. do you have any idea what it's like to be trying to liberate people who are shooting back at you even the kids!

Try looking at testemonials of thoese who have been out there, my hubby would gladly tell you what a mess it is!

Oh and we still havent rid the world of terrorists, so tell me there was a point to these wars?

[Loosehead]

I'm making no comments about what's going on, I'm just pointing out the selective reporting that's all. Moore didn't tell you about the good things the forces have done, he just made sure we where aware of the bad.

You can always find a stat to back you, you can always find an "expert" to back you, you can always find examples to back you. I could make a film tomorrow about the brutal supression of smokers in this country by a totalitarian state using propaganda against the masses, I can find stats that prove smoking is good for you. We all know it's hogwash but I could make such a film and some idiots would believe it. That's all Moore does, that's why he's got $1b in the bank, he found out that you can get gullible lefties to buy his dvd's etc if you tell them what they want to hear and pretend o one of them, the man's a capitalist genius!
