Moore does what numerous others in pages of books and hours of interviews have been unable to do. He takes a complicated web of deceit and puts it together in a way that people can understand. He cuts through the lies, shows the hypocrisy, and levels the political playing field. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are spared in this film, which looks at the nation in crisis, brought on by its own heads of state. Kudos to Michael Moore!
In addition, I am especially impressed with Moore's refusal to make this movie into a Kerry-campaign message. In fact, the Democrats take the heat, too. We citizens were misled and forced into this war; I remember as the war drums were beating last year, not feeling like I could say anything critical of it. I have never felt oppressed in this country until that moment, and I am glad that Howard Dean broke the ice, that Michael Moore has kept the dialogue going. I just hope that this whole thing turns into a real discourse in which all leaders are criticized, including the Democratic candidate. Our government is in a stranglehold by the monied elite, and it is time to take it back. Thanks, Michael!
