The Human Cost
8 July 2004
I know that a lot of Republican pundits have savagely attacked this film as being a distortion of the truth. Heck, some of those people have actually seen the film, not many, but some. Does Moore despise George W. Bush? You bet! Does he hope to tarnish his image with this film? You bet! Does that mean that this film is propoganda, which seeks to distort the truth? Well, let's see. Is the mother who lost her son in this war a distortion? She was military through and through, a flag waving supporter of troops, whose family had more than given to the cause. She turns out to be one of the biggest opponents of the war and Bush. Is she being distorted? Is that Moore feeding her lines? What about the many soldiers that talk about how they were mislead and can think of nothing but leaving a "bogus" war? What about the Bush lies in which he continued to tie Bin Laden with Saddam? When in reality, the Bush family has much closer ties to Bin Laden that Huessein. War has always been used by despots for control of the masses. Give the people an enemy, raise an army and keep people scared and loyal. However, as this war wages on, all I can remember seeing are those Halliburton suits, throwing parties and delighting in the amount of money they were going to make off of this tragedy. The bottom line is the money to be made, not the lives that have been and will be lost. In this country, people say that if you are not supporting the President and the war, you are not patriotic. Well, if patriotic is one that blindly follows a liar and a thief, call me a traitor.
