Watched it last night. Very well put together littl documentary. Lots of food for thought. The thing is as with any media you’ll see it as biased propaganda, but the thing that it shows is how the western world has been subjected to the other side’s propaganda for so long, I think it’s healthy to have a look at the other side of the coin.

The problem is discarding the movie because that’s what you feel it is only. Micheal Moore shows all his sources, reveals where he got his information, which is bloody public knowledge. Anyone anywhere in the world can access most of that information if they really wanted to. If you’ve ever read Stupid White Men, you’ll know that Moore puts all his references in the back of the book, so if you think he’s lying, well go check it for yourself, because guess what, Moore’s done his homework.

For me none of it was particularly shocking as I’m Lebanese and therefore cynical about the motives of the American and British government and the whole fiasco that is the UN. I know it’s all about money, and a complete disregard for humanity, as long as you line your pockets. The whole war on terror, again another scheme that I could see right through, there was nothing there that was new to me.

To me I really couldn’t help but feel ready to cry when I saw the Iraqi woman talking about how her house was blown away, how he family was dispursed and how none of them were milititant but civils. I watched her and seeing as I was listening to her in arabic, even though she said a few words slightly differently, it was pretty much all understandable, she signified the way all arabs the world over feel about the current situation. The frustration in her voice was unbearable. I couldn’t help but think about how Lebanon was destroyed, and now it’s Iraq, and they tried to wrap it in a coat of lies and deceit; and nobody cared enough, all those ignorant assholes that would defend their country’s right to act, I’d like to grab them by the hair and show them these scenes of the little girl completely dismembered so that they can listen to Britney Spears and Kylie, while watching fucking shit TV, feeling all safe now that the terrorists are taken care of.

I was reminded while watching the war ‘or trying hard to avoid the propaganda but couldn’t’, just how much Iraqi lives, are obviously much cheaper than American or British lives, and that truely makes me sick.

You know however that this little movie will get people thinking and you know that it will eventually be followed by other people also willing to show what is being done in their name.
