And I was nausious after sitting through Michael Moore's silly film!

Now this? "Why we fight" was (if my memory is correct) a series of films made during the WWII describing why the U.S. went to the trouble of helping the rest of the world out of it's funk. It was followed by the Marshall Plan, and ultimately outspending the USSR (a largely bloodless war considering what had gone before it) which brought down the Berlin wall and improved the lives of many people Eastern Europe, Japan, the Asia-Pacific rim and elsewhere.

This new film of the same title sounds like a farce compared to the original. Did they back it up with "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore???

Radical Islamist (funded and supported by many -- but not all -- in the Mid-East) attacked the US directly and killed more people then the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor. So far, the source of the attack (Afghanistan) has had it's government replaced initially by force, and then by popular vote. Then one of the most unstable supporters of violence in the Mid-East (Saddam) was removed from power and is being put on trial in his own country. Unfortunately, there are still real enemies (Syria and Iran) intact and causing trouble. Vast amounts of money are also still flowing from other Mid-East countries to support groups like Hezbolla and the Sunni's insergents in Iraq. Both groups are completely dominated by hate -- Hate for Isreal, Hate for the US, and in the case of the Sunni's in Iraq -- hate for the Shi'as. Has the war against these groups been 100% successful. Of course not, but progress does appear to be happening.

If you prefer their form of government or society, you're only the cost of an airline ticket away.
