This report saddens me. I feel for the people of america, and for our troops. And we People still eat up crap that Bill O' Reilly, and other clown faces out there feed us. Americans did three things wrong since the end of the clinton era 1) we elceted Mr. Bush 2) we supported the war 3) we elected bush again.

Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along.... All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.".

Great documentary. War profiteers aren't only in Iraq. Liars aren't only in the Government.

Thanks for posting. Highlights the dangers of politics and patriotism being allowed to invade on the territory of the `FREE press`. Media is the 21st century WMD!
