	I saw it and really thought it was crap. I am not defending George W by any means, I am not a fan or a big critic of his.   Moore has a talent for propaganda and the supercillious.  The sad thing is that flocks of us want to hear what he is saying and believe it.  Anyone can take things out of context and play spin doctor and give you this.   For instance his implication of "the poor fighting a rich man's war".  Folks, we have a fully voluntary armed forces.  Granted, alot of the armed forces may not come from an upper middle class to upper class upbrining, but they have joined of their own accord.  We do not shanghai the ghettos for orcs in our masters forces. And yes it is moving to see greiving mothers.  Was it any less heartbreaking and dissullisionary for the mothers of WWII or of any war.  Alot or our generation seems to forget that freedom is never easy or free.  Iraq may not be the best place for us, but let's face it,  where else should we establish a base of operations to fight terroism?  Will we make anyone hate us or like us more by never have invaded Iraq?   Do we assume the lifestyle most of us enjoy with it's elevated standard of living and freedoms to drop waterfalls and get big air is totally free?  Most of the world lives under the veil of freedom that we have provided.  Ever been to Europe, and realized that you'd be eating schnitzers under the Eifel Tower (if you'd even be allowed there) or possibly enjoying borscht in Rome if it wasn't for our constant vigilance.   Moore is not showing facts and presenting a documentary, he is simply using his freedom of speech to display up cream puff and tenuous insights. Read and research things for yourself, don't let idiots like leftists (Moore and his croonies) or conservative zealots (Rush and many others) spin their yarns for you and gooble it up like the buffet.  Realize that the only country looking out for us is us and that if we always look to plactate the rest of the world, someday hummus will be the featured meal on July 4th.
