Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

[Atrocities]

I was figuratively speaking when I said "You say."

Moores documentaries are not weak, they just lack honesty and leave no room for counter point or clarification of the actual facts he presents. He does this on purpose to cause controversay.

You can either buy into his propaganda or understand it for what it is, one mans attempt at making money off the backs of people who enjoy being fed a diet of BS.

There are two camps on this topic and frankly I will not budge on my opinion of the man or his work. I respect everyones opinion on the topic, and I know that I often make rash statements about topics that get under my skin such as this one has.

I don't hate the French, in fact I envy them. I hate the fact that Moore has fooled so many people, including here in the US, into believing that his Documentary is fair and unbyassed when it is not. I cannot help but feel helpless at the fact that so many people have bought into his propaganda and have even felt it warrented a distinguished award.

Politics should never play into the giving of an award and that too really angers me. If Moore had done a movie on Clinton I still would say what I am saying now, its all one sided and full of BS.

So if I have offended any french person, I am deeply sorry. I know now that many French folks think the same of Mr. Moore as many Americans do. He is just a film maker out to make a buck.

As much as I dislike the man, he is at least doing what he likes to do. How many of us can say that?
