F9/11

I just got out of watching Fahrenheit 9/11. I have to say, that it is a pretty powerful film. What makes it so powerful is that those are real people, that's real blood and tears. Those are real New Yorkers burning, and young GI's from places like Iowa. For anyone to dismiss this film as propaganda is to act like a two year old who's only existence is within one foot of themselves. Moore puts it all together in one package. Sure he manipulates and shows only what he wants to but.... Don't let that cloud the real message, big business is what drives the war machine and is what drove us to Iraq and is partially to blame for driving Bin Laden into the WTC. Make no doubt about it. There are a lot of millionaires being made from Iraq on our taxes. It's bigger than Bush, it's congress, it's the senate, it's the supreme court, it's the majority of our elected/appointed leaders.

I now realize what Dean was talking about when he said we need to take our government back. It's been hijacked by big business and special interests who don't care about the welfare of all Americans only about their money. Kerry is also to blame for he too voted for war in Iraq and for the Patriot Act. But I would rather have Kerry in there than Bush Inc. Bush has failed failed failed us! And he is a Miserable Failure as a leader too!
