Farenheit 9/11

Finally got around to seeing michael moore's documentary. And is it earthshatteringly moving? Well in a word, yes. But it's designed to move. It dilutes the efficiacy of his message by making it sound like propoganda. His voice is a liberal democrat bush bashers voice and it's a little hard to take him seriously when he shows a mom who lost her son crying. I'm not sure i want to believe all the facts simply because he makes such a convincing airtight case
Or maybe i just don't want to believe that america's nuclear arsenal is in the hands of such a monumental idiot. The movie seems farcical, impossible. How can the world's largest democracy stand by silent while their rights are taken away. While they are lead into an unnecessary war. While the only people who gain from the war are haliburton and the carlyle group.
So maybe the movie is extremist propoganda. Or maybe the world is a lot scarier and stupider than i imagined

Bush & his band of crooks are involved in much deeper conspiracy than that presented by fahreinheit 9/11.
They are basically the real terrorists.....for if they really wanted to get rid of saddam they could have done that using some commando operation, but he chose to occupy iraq, because unless iraq could be occupied he could not reap the benefits of invasion (Oil/construction business). And the high handed manner in which innocent civilians were killed by indiscriminate bombings by US soldiers is a testimony to the fact that US & allies are least bothered about Iraqis or for that matter even their own soldiers.
Why did not the US invade North Korea ? The reason is simple - they hav nuclear bombs for sure. US Knew that iraq would not be able to resist the US onslaught and it was a sitting duck. Similar is the case with afghanistan. How could u bomb and invade an entire nation for the only reason that one person who has supposedly (Because US still has not enough proofs) attacked WTC is being sheltered there ? Even if it is proved that Laden was being sheltered in afghanistan and that he had attacked WTC does it justify killing of thousands of innocent civilians in aerial bombardments just for the sake of one person ?
