Good. I solute your willingness to look at the opposite view, even when it is hurtful. Now that said, Moore's opinions aside, did you find any factual mistakes in the movie?

I find it interesting that we have two very different views of how Moore portrayed the soldiers. IMO he was actually defending them, saying that any wrongful actions on their part was the fault of the leadership ("one immoral act begets another and so our soldiers are forced to..." or something along those lines).

BTW, did you hear about the soldiers who defected to Canada on the grounds they found this war immoral? It went largely unreported in US, but my Canadian friends told me about it a couple of weeks ago. Among the reasons they cited was the use of depleted uranium that would cause cancer in the years to come.
