I saw "Fahrenheit 911" today, and yes it was an op-ed piece, and yes Michael Moore did his very best to make G.W. look like a hairy baboon, and perhaps he succeeded. Whether you're conservative, liberal, or somewhere in the middle, the movie is worth seeing because inspite of the contextual maneuvering, there are many factual bits that can lead to only one conclusion; Bush and his cronies lied, are lying, and will probably continue to lie. We've been voraciously duped, and the cost has been thousands and thousands of lives lost, and hundreds of thousands of lives impacted at a deeper level than most of us can fathom. Anyone who believes that we are in Iraq for any reason other than greed and the insatiable quest for power is flat out lying to themselves at a very fundamental level! G.W. has fucked us hard, and it's time we Americans pulled our heads out of our asses and started standing up for what is right instead of being herded like so many sheep to slaughter. The truth is everywhere, but I worry that most Americans no longer have the balls to pursue the good fight, or even worse, they don't care enough to make a stand. This is not something that is going to dissolve if we simply ignore it, but is instead THE fight of this and future generations. If you believe in the concept of 'good' versus 'evil', the evidence is abundant that evil is alive and well, and it is in fact calling the shots. Get angry America, time is running out...
