Well I thought the movie was some of the worst liberal propaganda I've ever seen...
Bear in mind that Moore never mentioned that it was solely Richard Clarke and the FBI that let the Saudi's flee the country... Bush's hands had nothing to do with it. You should go read the 911commission.org website.
I love how he painted the Iraqi's as completely happy and never mentioned anything of how Saddam was stockpiling the UN's oil for food money instead of helping his starving population out.
I have trouble believing that a woman with the guts to be 'unPC' to go up to protester and say 'that's not true' didn't have the guts to argue beyond that. Personally I think that scene was staged. When I confront an idiotarian I make sure I am ready and with facts. And who is Michael Moore to go chasing after a grieving woman? Moore just has a knack to interview the most ignorant of people on both sides. The grieving woman had a huge problem with elementary reading comprehension skills reading a letter she has most likely read to herself numerous times before. The husband also lacked knowledge of how to properly use the verb "to be". But I guess demo's don't know what the meaning of is is.
I just can't believe Moore's idea that Bush and the Saudi's planned 911 in order to generate private money. Believe me there's much easier ways to generate that much money if you're the president. All I know is that not only the US but the whole western economic system lost SOOOO much money over the twin towers it is still staggering that Bush has the economy kicking back in again.
I agree with him that something has to be done about the House of Saud (and Iran's nuclear bid...) but its not the time yet. I for one view all the Islamic states as a wierd sort of religious confederation carrying on a modern day jihad, not too unlike the Mahdi's against the British in the 19th century. Just on a greater scale. Hopefully Iraq will act as a draw for all the skilled workers and educated civilians in the neighboring states crippling the other regimes infrastructure... Only time will tell though....
Please excuse my ramblings... Having only recently seen Bowling for Columbine, (his whole America is powerful because we had slavery is such a joke... its quite easy to see we were still a poor nation till well into the 20th) my disgust for Michael Moore and his unabashed anti-Americanism grows ever time I read some of his publicity related quotes out there...
