after finally getting around to watching this - i am so deeply ashamed of what my country stands for. it is so depressing to think when i talk to ppl - what my accent portrays.
american's - in a general manner of speaking - are very misinformed and ignorant to the happenings of the world outside of its borders - and its sad to think how many young men and women are being killed on a daily basis because of this ignorance.
so many families are being torn apart by pointless wars. kids as young and younger than 16 being lured in to join the military by hopes of money and education.
this film was very informative - but extremely disheartening. i think i cried through half of it.
if you havent seen it - go watch it!

true - it is only ones man view - but we had to say was backed up and justified - none of his statements were made without information to support it.

Yes, your country is a mess. Your administration needs to sort its life out and what kind of a person votes for a president because he a of a certain religions disposition.

Yeah but you can alays doctor the information, and only include stuff to make your point.
Just make sure its called a dossier so you can get out of it by saying "it was not a report and to my knowledge it was correct at the time."

and mroe to the point - i think Bush pretty much shot himself in the foot when he stated 'i dont know where he [osama bin laden] is - and to be honest - i didnt spend that much time thinking about it'
my jaw dropped at that one - WTF?!?! why didnt you - as 'president' of the USA put more effort into tracking down the man alleged to be behing the terrorists acts of 9/11??? oh yeaaaa... thats right - money!! he knew that by fucking with osama - in some respect would fuck up his dads income with carlyle.
and why the hell would be pay to fly out the bin ladens from the usa?? liek stated in the film - and investigaton about ANy crime - the family members are always questioned - why the exception - ESPECIALLY in such a high profile case?

The US election campaign is like no other in the world you can only stand if you have millions if not billions of backing behind you. Bush made a business dession.
Not that I am supprting him. Just can see why he did it

I haven't watched this yet but I do know how biased Michael Moore is. You would have to watch an unbiased film to get a more accurate protrait.

BTW, the film is a staged bit of crap, i wouldnt take any of it to heart, its just extremism to make money. Ignore it.

Obviously is is a biased view, but you cant dispute the facts. It was a real eye opener though, its the closest ive ever come to crying watching a film.

Did anyone watch the 9/11 conspiracy theory program last night on SkyOne?
Suggested that the Government did it so they could create Anti-Terrorist laws. They drew comparisons to Hitlers burning of his own Reichstag building.
Its not Americans I have a problem with, its just stupid people in general
