I've seen the movie. How about you do the same and then you list the facts you are disputing. Remember, we are discussing Moore's facts, not his opinions.

Moore has no correct facts Thank you for that black and white assessment. Now was there an attack on the twin towers and the Pentagon? Did Bush have a special relationship with the Saudi prince serving as the Saudi Ambassador; you know, the one he nicknamed "Bandar Bush?" Did that lady who sent her son and daughter into the army and into the Gulf actually lose her son in Iraq after he'd written a letter home critiquing the war? Was she left crushed and asking "why?" Did the woman who lost five members of her family to American missiles look just like one of our own mothers as she choked back tears and asked "where are you god?" Was the awful extent of her grief, anger and call on god to punish those who did this to her family, faked? In your blanket condemnation of Moore and others with different views, you have no idea what you're talking about. All you know is that your side is all good and the other side is all lies and evil intentions. But never forget that the other side served in world war 1, 2, Korea, Vietnam, all the "little wars," the first Gulf War, Afghanistan and now Iraq. They demonstrated their love of freedom and this country with their blood and the blood of their loved ones. What makes you more of an American than they are? What gives you the right to judge the hearts of those who see the world in shades of gray or through different lenses? Who in the hell are you to be so righteously convinced in the error of their ways and the piety of your own? I suspect that those who lack humility are the most dangerous demagogues of all.
