It's a sad day for democracy today, and the world is a considerably MORE dangerous place.

It would be an even a sadder day if Moore's documentary had any influence on the result. And how is the world a more dangerous place when Al-Quedi have been active before the Iraq war? They were responsible for the deaths of several hundred people in the Bali bombings in 2002. What about Libya's announcement at destroying its WMDs? The Middle-East will always be a volitile place because of Isreal and the issue over a Palistian state.
The whole premise of Michael Moore's Fahranheit 9/11 is to suggest Bush and his administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks to invade Iraq for oil. That's it.
It is a cunningly pieced together documentary focusing on Bush, Cheney, their Oil businesses and their relationship with certain Saudi nationals, like the Bin Laden family and Rumsfeld's dealings with Saddam during the Iraq/Iran war. Of course, it doesn't accuse any of them directly of any involvement hence why none of them can sue. It's meant to subconciously draw the viewer's mind to believe Moore's theory.
Did you notice Moore's attempt to make light of the lack of America's allies on the war on Iraq? He failed to mention Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Italy, Spain, and instead Moore talked about Iceland, Costa Rica, Romania as America's only supporters in the coalition. He even said on the invasion of Iraq: "America will be doing much of the invading ourselves". Is that a true reflection of what occurred? What a smack in the face to our troops. And most distastefully of all, focuses on a Mother's grief of her son who died in Iraq.
We in Britain must not judge Bush purely for the way he's lampooned by satrical programmes, left-wing comedians as a "thick, Lazy, Texan" (he was actually born in Connecticut) and the Guardian newspaper. He's actually a clever man who studied at Yale and Harvard universities.
Out of both candidates, I favour more Bush. I wasn't impressed with Kerry's opening speech focuing on his glittering record as a soldier (which many ex servicemen desputed). Besides, I have conservative values so I'm usually more supportive of the Republicans anyway.
