My brother forwarded the following article to me. It took me aback, big time. I found Moore's film important and exceptional, but this author has several strong points as to why/how Farenheit 911 did not go far enough.
Boy, does the world hate us, or what?! (Not unjustified, either.) I agree with the author that Bush and his Administration should be tried and convicted of war crimes. Maybe if we Americans start demanding this, especially in light of the 911 commision report, the world will see that we Americans (I'm ashamed I have to call myself that) are not all like our current Administration.
I do believe Moore's film is a start. Naively, I did not view Farenheit 911 as a statement to the world, but as a personal film for American's to encourage us to WAKE UP, PAY ATTENTION and DO SOMETHING!
