I guess that's debatable - as to how far your memory goes back

The instantaneous threat after 9/11 from the reality of how/why the attack took place, to our never ending involvement in the middle east since the 1950's should have made everyone second guess those in Washington.

If all the money the US has spent since the 1950's to arm ourselves against these boogie man type threats makes us this vulnerable still, I am surely skeptical of anyone of power telling me so, and am very angry that we wasted money on such things in the first place.

War should not be an expensive avocation of a select few, of any country, including ours. Violation of Just War Principles should be considered an act of treason and treated as an impeachable offense.

As we look forward to 8 years in Iraq.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Are you Ready for the Truth? It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you proud to be an American. This documentary tells the true story of living under the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein. It contains interviews with the Iraqi victims of Saddam Hussein and Chemical Ali including the atrocities and Mass Graves filmed by award winning Kurdish/ American Film Maker, Jano Rosebiani. Also included is an ambush interview of Michael Moore, in which he invites others to make counter points to his documentary. Victor Davis Hanson, Senior Fellow from the Hoover Institute, provides insights into the reasons the US went to war with Iraq and Judith Rood, Associate Professor of History at Biola University, helps exlain Saddam Hussein and the Baath party. Brad Maaske a California Real Estate Broker quit his job and risked his life savings to get the Truth to the American Public about the War in Iraq. The movie was made with love for America, love for the US Military, who are risking their lives for our freedom, and love for the Iraqi People, 1.3 million of whom were murdered by Saddam and his Regime. "Everyone in America must see this - no matter what your political persuasion".

Naw, he was never a threat. A bad guy? sure. Dastardly and iron fisted ruler? Yes!

A threat to the United States. Not even close.

Tons of evil dictators around. Are you in favor of taking them all on? (And please don't forget that key members of the GWB administration had no problem shaking his hand when it was convenient.)
