Review of Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) by Proudcitizen — 26 Mar 2007
As mark twain said, and excuse me if I slightly misquote him: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Courteous and respectful dissension and public discourse must always thrive in America, as they are the back-bone of our society.
Our beautiful nation is not perfect, and thus it is our duty as informed and intelligent citizens to, at times, look upon America with a critical eye. We criticize in an effort to help this country grow.
We all love America, and this best thing we can do to help it grow is to work together. We identify the missteps, and do our best right this country's course. Michael Moore in his own overly partisan, but adroit, way exposed this administrations hypocrisy and guile.
Moore clearly shows how Bush and his political allies, through manipulation and trickery, lead this country into an interminable conflict in the Middle East. Bush purported that an invasion of Iraq was necessary in a larger war against terror, but, as Moore points out, any discernible observer clearly sees that this war is solely about control of Iraqi oil fields.
Michael Moore reminds us that we must question and challenge our government to keep it on a rewarding and benevolent course.
