As far as your attacks on Moore, I have never defended him on any of my many posts on two boards. What I have defended was his right to make this film and have it be seen by as many people as possible, who want to see it. Both Moore and Gibson are not only talented filmmakers, but they are also terrific businessmen.
I think if you go back to my first post on this thread, you’ll see that initially I wasn’t too impressed with the film’s beginning – nothing that I hadn’t already read and heard before. But then the art of filmmaking kicked in and Moore succeeded IMO in creating a work that – love it or hate it – was never boring.
I would be surprised if you didn’t find his depiction of the actual tragedy of 9/11 exceptionally powerful and moving. We didn’t have to see it to bring all those memories back – I thought this was the first great image in a film of very effective visual images.
The tape segments of the president in the classroom were new to me and for that reason alone were really interesting to me. But I did evaluate the president’s “performance” there and it came up wanting IMO. Did Moore present the tape segments in a way that would impress upon the audience exactly how long that seven minutes was – of course he did. Moore wasn’t making a pro-Bush film and I think he’s been very forthright about his intentions. No one seeing this film should be surprised by the criticisms of President Bush in it.
IMO this film is really an anti-war film with an anti-Bush sub-text.
BTW the reason you aren’t on their phone and email lists is because you aren’t registered to vote here ;-) LOL

The last time anyone listened to a Bush, they were lost for 40 years! Looks like we're doomed to "wander" ano
But in terms of your last statement, I don't know how you can say that it made no difference. We'll never know, now will we! From what I gathered, the Pentagon could have been evacuated, since they figured it could be a target. I don't know EITHER if that could have happened, but neither do you.
