check this out, it would be nice if they would show this on PBS instead of putting it in theaters

I've talked about this movie before, its being sitting on my hd since novemeber but I advise everyone to watch it..William Kristol the idiot behind Project for the new American century is interviewed explaining his rational and my favorite historian Gwynne Dyer as well.

Also Eugene Jarecki made the trials of henry kissinger which is also well made.

the 873mb one died, it started up again since I just left it on... but it is dling @ .5kb, THE 691mb version dls @ great speeds, it is the safest bet.

BBC4.Storyville.-.Why.We.Fight.avi 691.11mb = good.

It has no similarities to a Micheal Moore Documentary in any way shape or form. If you take the time to watch it you would notice that.

I will honestly come out and say this is the best documentary out at the moment. Flat out brilliant.

You're not going to check it out?

If I were a liberal, I'd check out conservatively-stanced docos like this just so I could find fault and argue against it. Vice versa if I were a conservative.

Richard perle is interviewed also John Mccain, along with William Kristol who is a ultra conservative by my standards, its a doc that should be watched by all Americans no matter what your stance is on the political scale and if you have this Michael Moore mindset crap your watching and believing to much rhetoric in the American press..A fair and balanced doc that tells you why America is in Iraq.

Just saw it.

What Eisenhower said about fears of Military Industrial Complex pretty much sums it up about how it is now.

Imperialism and Capitalism.
