What you have to do with all things like this is look at the message and the message carrier.

Has Bush disputed any of the statements put out in the film?

Is Michael Moore biased?

Who has been proven to be the more truthful?

Who has the power to do the more damage?

It's no good to just dismiss Moore becasue he's biased, that's a very American thing to do. Just because the message carrier is criticising it does not follow he is lying or hates the US. You have to prove these facts.

So far what has been shown is the war was started on the false premise that Saddam's Iraq was a threat to the US.

Where is the proof Saddam was supporting terrorism against the US. Yes he was vocal against the US, but other than that what proof is there?

Where is the proof he was in league with Bin Laden?

No one so far has been able to come up with proof that WMD existed at the time of the invasion.

Going to war, invading and occupying a country, killing hundeds of thousands, spending billions of dollars needs a little more proof and a lot less assumptions than we were given.

Who would you rather trust, Bush or Moore as the most truthful?
