The irony here being that he's no fan of Obama after the continuation of the wars etc. On that level I have to respect him for his conviction to a cause\topic instead of being a party shill like so many on the left and right around here.
free speech and how you express it is supposed to make people think. moore is an entertainer just like like the folks in media on the right.
the right never calls for arrest of their entertainers, they only like their own's personal brand of truth.

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.
You get it. So many people don't though. Well said.

Not all of them obviously, but plenty are. And they have every right to be considering our role in their affairs.

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 guess you never saw it (or talked to anyone who actually saw it)
