    Why We Fight

this dvd is an excellent documentary dealing the Iraqi conflict + other related issues.

the production is outstanding & it's well researched.

it made me furious
Angry
it should be required viewing for ... well... everyone here in the U.S., probably everyone else on planet earth too.

What's sad is that if you quote Eisenhower's speech to the Limbaugh/ins-Hannity listeners of this country, they shrug it off as "Hippy Rhetoric".  We are so polarized in this country that this type of material is ignored or vilified by those that would benefit most from the education.

yes we are polarized indeed.  partly the media's fault.
...just a few years ago i too would've dismissed this dvd & the info it presents.

basically, the United States is in another Viet Nam...only without the military draft.
i assume you've seen the dvd then ?
Limbaugh-Hannity followers are not getting any objective info (my mother is one of 'em)
Utah is full of die-hard republicans who will believe anything that Bush & Co. dictate.

Recently VP Dick Cheney spoke at BYU and received a standing ovation...
...idiots Angry

It's a good documentary film, though there are better. The one that saddened and outraged me the most was the Dispatches episode "Iraq's Missing Billions".
