I know this movie came out a while ago, and a lot has changed since then, but I feel Michael Moore is "right on target" with this movie when it comes to Bush's policies. Here is a link about it for those who have never seen it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361596/
I think the biggest problem with this is blaming this on one person. It was agreed upon by Congress.
Yes, it was a HORRIBLE and STUPID decision to go into Iraq...but the blame cannot be on the one person who proposed it or pushed it, but on the many - on BOTH sides - who agreed.
I have not seen that one yet, NeedKarma, but plan to.
I do agree RickJ that there is more to blame for this than just one person, there was a lot of people involved in it. I think this movie was just focusing on one person because he is SUPPOSED to be the leader of our country, and he represents us badly as a nation.
Agreed...but look at all the anti-Bush sentiment this movie generated for no good reason.
If MM were truly eager to show the truth, he'd be bashing ALL the jokers who went along with the "let's go into Iraq" plan.
...but no, he would have us thinking the one who "disagreed after he agreed" would have lead our country better.
Despite that I think Bush has SCREWED UP BIG TIME, if I had to vote again, I'd still have to vote for him. Kerry is a waffling weasle that cannot be trusted as far as you can throw him.
...please pardon this digression from my typical even tone, but this whole subject just burns me up. I'm ready to outlaw political parties altogether and go back to "may the best man win".
...of course I know that's not possible - I'm just venting a bit since you started the thread that invites venting.
I am not up on politics that much nor have the time to be but I do have one question. They knew about the energy crisis back in the 70's. Why didn't the presidents and the politicians try to do anything then? Also, there were a few times Clinton had his sites on Osama but couldn't have the guts to do anything about it. Or he couldn't get out of bed in time...if you know what I mean. I agree with Rick that every one is blaming one perosn for this whole mess when he is the only one to have the guts to stand up and fight.
When I first saw Fahrenheit 911 in the theatre, I liked it and mostly agreed with Michael Moore, but I thought he was going a bit overboard. However, as you say Cgirl a lot has happened since then, and now I agree with pretty much everything in the movie. And yeah it's not just Bush, but he does have responsibility as the president.
Sorry Michael Moore in my opinon should be called a tradior and shot, his half truths and lies made into a film is about as untrue and anti Ameican as one can get. He has been merley a trouble maker who has no agenda other than attacking others.
