if you're talking about the song that plays at the end, its "Lost" and it's performed by Annie Lennox

The whole point of the movie was that we are not fighting in Iraq for "peace".

[Punktperson]

"Fighting for peace is like f*cking for virginity."

Not exactly my favourite quote of all time, but... There's a point to it, in my opinion.

I saw the movie yesterday, and I liked it. It was slow, but gripping and beautiful.

what a load of shite

Conclision: Americans are all tiny versions of David. But they do not manage their fear. Therefore they take to their slingshots in abundance, over and over again, aiming at anyone, even shadows of their own. Hence they have become the country of blind and biggots, ruled by and home of Beelzebub. And we all know what the scripture says about good and bad, what final destiny awaits Beelzebub... Endure those of you oppressed, the time when Usa flags ther banner upside down is not long away.

This clip is edited WRONG. The flag is supposed to be turned upside down. Those who incorrectly edited this video are terrorists. Plain and simple. Watch yourselves.

now the question is did the americans learn any lesson from this movie?...I hope so.

save your young men from violence don't send them to war save them and save humanity as well

[engheba7007]

@wakniss because the aggressor used "divide to conquer" rule..it' so easy to use such rule in a country like iraq has many racial and religious sects...I'm sure americans were very happy when they see iraqis kill each other

[wakniss]

@MrNaryal

Since you seem to be feeling a sense of kinship with the Iraqis, may be you could answer a question that has been bugging me for quite some time ?

Why were Iraqis going ape-shit and killing each other after the invasion, instead of uniting against the aggressor ?

[wakniss]

@MrNaryal

Americans are not war criminals. They're good people, really good people from what I've seen of them in the past 5 years living in this country. Their administration was taken over by some very bad people though when all this happened.

[FriKKuzzo]

I don't know why , but for some reasons this songs reminds me of "Fletcher Memorial Home" by Pink Floyd .
