i saw the movie tonight.
much of it is irrelevant vilification of bush, but moore does make a few solid points. anyone can take sound bites out of context to make someone else look like a fool---that is not a "documentary".
but, if anyone has half a brain a few points will resonate with voters, if the facts the moore presents are actually true.
the main point that comes across is that american taxpayers are not getting good ROI---the price is too high for the value received.
and, we are not becoming loved in the arab world because of the invasion of iraq, we have not become "safer" because of it, and the entire premise for launching the war was a sham.
is bush an "evil" man---i don't think so, but...
the real reason we are fucking around in iraq is not about iraq's political system---it is mostly a grudge match between an american president who had his father personally threatened by a dictator, and he orchestrated a reason to even the score.
and the secondary reason has to do with one word---oil, otherwise we would not give a shit about the camel jockeys.
