Really? Speak for yourself. Iranians are not my enemy...never was and i don't see how they'll ever be. No Iranian has ever done anything bad to me personally.

If they've played a role in the death of our soldiers in Iraq, then i suggest you get a mercenary group together and attack Iran in retaliation. I mean really....you're bent out of shape about that? How about our attacks on them? Like giving the Iraqi's weapons to use against the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war? Or our participation in getting rid of a democratically elected government and installing the Shah?

In other words, they have a reason to p*ssed at us. A damn good reason. If i were them, i'd be angry too.

As for their leadership being evil, that's their business. I don't have to live under it, and they've done nothing personally to me OR you. You should mind the business of your own country and leave them to their own affairs.

I think it's funny when people use American freedoms to support things anti-American. Yo don't see any irony there?? Here you're standing against American values and freedoms yet here you are using them.

This is also why Michael Moore is a hypocrite. In his "Capitalism: a Love Story"," he was completely blasting capitalism yet he used capitalism to promote his film.

I'm sure if Republicans wanted to, they could too.

They just don't want to.

So in other words, you're all for "freedom of speech", but only just so long as it doesn't offend you..?

Then don't watch his films. I mean really...why get bent out of shape about Mike Moore? If he's such a hypocrite, why did you watch his doc?

I've never understood the fascination that people have with people that they don't like. If you don't like him, then pretend that he's not there. That's what i do to folks i hate.

It's wierd...some of you love America the way you love your mothers. That's asenine. No one should look at their country through rose colored glasses and be non-critical just because you're born there. If something sucks, you should point it out....that's the American, not ANTI-American thing to do.

You guys have sh*t twisted.

yes, you do care. it bugs you he does it, what ever "it" is in the first place. bothers you more people will come watch. the idea he is successful at it as well as it not being a message you support, you denounce it.

like skateboarding, being a dissident is not a crime

You would be well advised to associate with your enemies because if you did, they wouldn't be your enemies anymore. Or do you like seething in rage for no reason? If Iran is your enemy because they've played a role in the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq then I guess your government and the defense contractors should also be on that list. If you get to pick your enemies, so do the rest of us.

Iran is not my enemy. I really don't have any enemies except for those people who insist I have some. Sound familiar?

And how on earth is Michael Moore anti-American? Have you seen any of his movies or read any of his books? His criticism is borne out of love for his country and a desire to bring it back to its former glory which sounds astoundingly similar to the desires of our conservative citizens. Amazing isn't it?!

You didn't see the movie did you? It's so pro-capitalism it's ridiculous. He wants to redefine it so it works better for all its participants. Your view is typical of those who judge before thinking.
