People want to say why doesn't Moore show what Saddam did to his people, the gassings, cutting off people's hands, etc. Well that's because our media has that area well covered. What our media hasn't shown us is our soldiers coming back with missing legs, soldiers in VA hospitals pissed off about the war, families having to deal with the extreme grief of losing their loved ones and over what? Our government shoving democracy down another country's throat when they clearly don't want it?

I honestly don't know what news u r watching, but those seem to be the headlines almost every night. every time there is a story about the war, it's never put in a positive light and every episode of world news seems to have atleast one story or punchline with a negative viewpoint towards the current administration.
daseal: that may be the case with there being ties between Osama and Bush just like we unfortunately put saddam into power, but ties have been severed between the two just like they could have been severed between saddam and bin laden. and to be honest I never heard about those "prisoner crates" with "innocent locals" which is kinda suprising cuz I would think that there would be something about that in the news for a while.
bottom line is that sure Moore probably believes what he says in his movies, but he also knows that his movie will strongly appeal to roughly half of the country as well as european countries currently filled with not only anti-bush people but anti-american as well. So he knows he's making a buckoo amount of money retelling quite a bit of stuff that's been relatively old news. He's playing off of people's hatred and ignorance just like he has with his other movies. some may see that as being a good business man or "showman" but personally it disgusts me. like others have said it's just the fact that his story is so narrow-minded in its viewpoints of the story. if this was a movie heavily in favor of bush I'd be skeptical about it 2 cuz for the complete story u can't have all of the facts and stretched facts coming from a one-sided viewpoint.
