the average CNN and Fox viewer prolly could not grasp the nuances of this story (ie, the tribal conflicts and reverse power play between the Shia and Sunni), which is why we don't get this kind of mature, in-depth coverage on major networks. tragic, really.

People and power indeed. A refreshing look at the immense complexity on the ground in Iraq today. There are no easy descriptions of this moment and I appreciate the opportunity to explore these issues armed with more information than is usually available to me via mainstream news outlets in America. To the filmmakers- thank you for taking the risks to bring me voices of I generally have no real access to.

Colin Powell said, before the Invasion, "If we break it, we own it. It's the Pottery Barn rule."

Bush thought he meant, if we break it, we own the oil...

God bless American terrorism!!! I hope we lose this next war with Iran!!!

Yea because protecting Israel is a sin, is it? Let the nazis in the areas in and around slaughter the whole bunch of jews, se what I care. I just sit here at home watching anti-american news eating the shit media craps out. You fucking nazi faggot. I hope you burn in what ever evil pit you we're spawned from...

Iraq is the perfect position for U.S. control of the Mid-East. Iran, the only threat in that region, will be covered by the American army, Israel will be protected, oil will be secured.

Afganistan is the perfect position for U.S. to counter any agression from Pakistan, the worlds only Muslim Nuclear power.

The pieces are in place, and are ready to attack, kill, conquer while the world and it's anti-war ideals sit back and watch and not act, because of fear.

We have to advance the global empire and that means that we will do whatever it takes. One Sadam down because he refused to listen. Now we have to make another that will be america's bitch. That's our gov at work.

you can engage in ethnic cleansing and be called ahero by  al-jazeera and the American left as long a s you declare yourself anti-American, the moment you side with the Americans, well you are pure evil, no longer an insurgent, but an assasin, not a freedom figther but a mercenarie...

hooray for Al-jazeera and Democracy Now your most biased networks
