Fahrenheit 9/11:
People will shout at each other and then, on November 2, the candidate with the better hair will win.
...when you talk about the Iraq war and how Bush jr "duped" people wouldn't it be worth more than one second to show how Democrats were only too happy to vote for the war? That one second I'm referring to is a clip that shows Tom Daschle and Richard Gephardt (the same Dick Gephardt who now supposedly is such a good running mate for Democratic hopeful John Kerry who, despite having been so happy about voting for the war, isn't even mentioned!) supporting basically anything their president wants to do. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to show how Democrats bear responsibility, too? It simply doesn't work to blame it all on the media.
And wouldn't it be time to wonder whether there is a problem when, it seems, the only reason most Democrats think there's something wrong with the Iraq war it's just that too many US soldiers die? Is that it? As bad as dead soldiers are - the movie shows the suffering of one mother - the damage done by this invasion is much bigger than that. The standing of the US in the world and the US economy itself have suffered to an extent unimaginable only a few years back. Do the people, who after the movie hand out flyers for John Kerry, seriously believe you just have to replace Bush jr with that rich horse-faced Senator and all will be well again? Please!
