"...and this country is really in the mood for somebody to tell ’em what they should think, what to do.”


That's exactly what democrats want--to tell the American people what we should think and what we should do. Unbelievable, he just gave away their secret! I'm glad I can think for myself, thank you.

And how about the celebrity turnout for the premiere? Not a real shocker to see Martin Sheen, Demi Moore, Drew Barrymoore, et al excited to be there. And how about Camryn Manheim who was also there, quoted, "A lot of us look to Michael Moore to uncover the real truth." ROFL.


*sigh* These people...

"That's what I find objectionable about this trash of Moore's. It is just pure devisive mudslinging, aimed to inspire class-envy hatred of some of us against others ....."

Could you please explain how F9/11 creates Class envy?

I think that anyone who has seen this movie and still supports Bush should imagine what would happen if someone declared war on our country and your childs body was charred or their arm blown off. People seem to forget that even Bush has said that there is no evidence of weapons of mass destruction which was supposed to be the reason we went to war with them in the first place. I think that we should realize that the Iraqis just want to have a simple normal life like we do. Who in the world gave Bush the right to be a murderer of the innocent just like his enemy Saddam.

<<"Mr. Moore's greatest strength is a real empathy with working-class Americans that most journalists lack. Having stripped away Mr. Bush's common-man mask, he uses his film to make the case, in a way statistics never could, that Mr. Bush's policies favor a narrow elite at the expense of less fortunate Americans — sometimes, indeed, at the cost of their lives.">> ....so in fact if we were to follow his own MO we should

I really like and agree with the fast-food analogy, and when it comes to documentaries I actually prefer to have something to chew instead of just the hot air and smells

I am not disputing the history of why our troops don't have enough equipement, but knowing that should have played into the planning. You don't plan to do something if you don't have the right tools, enough people, and plan to send people into combat without jackets that can mean the difference between life and death. Military commanders made it clear there were serious concerns in the planning stages and they were ignored, and rumsfeld has admitted he miscalculated the situation. those miscalculations have cost the lives of our men and women in the military and have facilitated the unrestrained growth and influx of terrorists and insurgents in iraq.


>>>The problem is that everyone wants our tax dollars going everywhere,<<

seems to me that a lot of people were quite happy getting a tax cut at the expense of our military.

>>>Both invasions were wrong, and you still supported Bush in a immoral action.<<<

the taliban supported bin laden who was responsible for the killing of thousands of americans, and that makes me sick. I am sorry you feel that way, but when a country is attacked (any country) the international community understands and support its right to defend itself. Iraq is a whole different ball game. I would have supported the decision regarding afghanistan no matter who the president was in office at the time, democrat or republican.

>>>In my opinion, supporting the troops and not supporting the war is like saying, I support my daughter who is a hockey player, but I don't support that she plays hockey.<<<

No comparison between a game and war, unless you view war as nothing but a political game. people don't die in a hockey game. I don't see there is a contradiction at all, one can support their troops but not support the reasons they were sent. to date I haven't heard about our troops feeling demoralized because people are challenging iraq war and are speaking about how unhappy they are about our troops dying in iraq.

by the way many parents support their children doing sports that they may not like, such as football or ice hockey, cheerleading. People can choose to do things others don't approve of and be secure and intelligent enough to realize that despite it they are loved and supported 100%.

Re-read your post and you will see that it is full of contradictions. You can't use the UN to support an argument, if you don't believe in it in the first place. Furthermore, there was no UN approval for the attack on Iraq.

And then you make personal attacks and insults to someone else then claim that 'we can argue like adults'.
