from an article on the documentary film,
No End in Sight, about the Iraq war and the lies and stupidity that got the U.S. into it.
<<This weekend, thanks to Arianna Huffington, I had the opportunity to attend a screening of No End in Sight, Charles Ferguson's brilliant documentary about the Iraq war, the buildup, the fuck-up and the slide into chaos. . . . Don't wait until it comes to Netflix because this is one film that must be seen in a theatre with a full sized theatre screen, not on a television set . . . Only in the theatre will you see the true dimensions of the horror and the chaos that Bush brought down on the Iraqi people, and the criminal ignorance of the Bush administration that brought us to where we are today. It's Halloween -- a horror film in the shape of a fine documentary, one that lets events do the talking, the very best way to review history.
<<There is a point where incompetence and willed ignorance, infused with constant lying, becomes a criminal act. And this has happened to the Bush administration, where their mistakes have become crimes. This film is a stunning indictment of our President and his cohorts and the hell that they brought down on the Iraqi people, and its consequences for all Americans, beyond the insurgency -- the hatred that makes us so vulnerable today from any terrorists that our president created. It is hard to look at this film and not believe that Bush was a mole, a secret agent of Al Qaeda, for nothing those terrorist criminals might have done could have wreaked such havoc on the world and America as the acts of George Bush and company.>>

The problem of course is distribution, since none of the big theatre chains will touch this. It's too bad film-makers can't showcase their products on the internet, free, for widest distribution and rely on world-of-mouth. Of course they have to be paid for their efforts, maybe this could be done by foundations like Soros' or others. Even though the Israeli and U.S. propaganda machines can outspend private foundations 10 to 1, quality and word-of-mouth have to count for something. I've got the feeling that if the anti-war films continue to tell the truth and document it, that all the lies of the U.S. and Israeli governments, despite their deeper pockets, will come off looking shabby and the people will just know instinctively who are the bullshit artists and who are telling the truth.
