You're drinking your bathwater, xenox, if you think Moore's 911
was factual and objective. That's the epitome of desperate thinking. He is the most subjective, radical "documentarian."

Ah, yes, Farcenheit 911, the movie that launched my blogs!
Contrary to your opinion that critics of this movie rely on one short three-minute segment, I was going after pretty much the whole thing. What set me on the path of terrorizing the liberals of Blogit was his promise on This Week with George Stephanopoulos to sue anyone who criticized the movie. You can read my open letter daring him to do so at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight8287/, and my blog about the movie in genneral and the controversy over it at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight2228/.
I'm surprised the Big Boy hasn't tried to out-GORE the GORE and make a blockbuster on "global warming." As full of hot air as he is, he may be astute enough to recognize ahead of time the satire he'd be inviting.

Re: Re: The idealogue known as Moore
Clinton inherits from Bush, Bush inherits from Clinton. Everyone inherits everyone elses baggage this can be true and can also be a cop-out.
It just goes to show you that they're all linked and that people (especially utopianists) should quit looking for a messiah.
But this Reagan arranging with the Ayatollah for the hostages sounds like left-wing conspiracy theory paranoia. You should check out the Clinton Chronicles and watch the rights supposed evidence on Clinton engineering murders as governor.

Re: The idealogue known as Moore
you didn't see the documentary movie
and you remember that Herr Reagan's people made arrangements with the Iranians to keep the hostages until inauguration day 1980.
and you have to remember that the problems with Iran were a result of U.S. backing the despotic Shah, overthrowing a popular elected president in 1953 during a Republican Administration. And you might not remember the U.S. V.P. Spiro Agnew attending the Shah's lavish 2500th anniversary party.
Clinton didn't get us into Africa; he inherited it from Herr Bush's father.
Ancient movie? - facts are never out of date.

The idealogue known as Moore
All wars have always been on the Kings behalf. It has never been any different. Clinton bombed Yugoslavia and captured Milosevic. He got us into Africa and like most democrats he split town and Bin Laden developed his "paper tiger" concept. That is believing Americans have no stomach for war. This invited 911 more than anything. Rarely has anyone been scared of a democrat but Iran released the hostages when cowboy Ron took office. If Clinton was still in office there would've been 15 more terrorist attacks and probably no retribution.
Lots of Iraqi's died in the war but many chose to kill each other over religious control. Pigs just like Bush and his boys, and lots more would've died under Saddams rule eventually anyway. I've said in the past all the world leaders are like drug lords and street dealers. Sooner or later one of them screws the other and now it's war.
When one joins the army you have now become a tool for the government. You are defending the governments interest and so you go where they put you. It is not up to you where you fight and whats a just war or not. If you don't like it then don't join the army.
So now a bunch of power-mongers want straighten out Al-qaeda build pipelines or whatever and milk Iraq for oil supposedly. According to that genius Moore and our super-enlightened public. It's funny how the public thinks they know everything. All of them willing soldiers with Moore in command. Welcome to big business and whether it's the 21st century or the 16th century it's always been the same. Welcome to political reality as it's always been for the King.
As for Moore he is not a patriot he is a professional dissident. He travels the world and gets paid to condemn corporate America while he is in fact corporate America himself. He owns or used to own stock in Haliburton. He lives a rich all white neighborhood far away from all the blacks he feels so sorry for. He gives speeches around the world and lies about how much he gets paid and is known to try to make those around him very subserviant and tries to get people fired if they're not perfect for his needs. He is also extremely cheap (look at him).
Michael Moore wouldn't pick up a gun and defend his country against anybody even if invaded. He would only make a movie showing why we deserved to be invaded. I could however see Michael Moore sitting in the WhiteHouse invading and bombing everyone he didn't like just like Bush. Moore is also an editing master pirate. I don't know how anyone can look at Moore and take him seriously. Another clown in the circus.
That's an ancient movie by the way. Look at Farenhype 911 for a counterpoint.
