I thought the jokes were in poor taste given the situation.

I guess if you are a Bush hater, this is something to be concerned with.
What I see here is a clip taken out of context. How do you know that he
didn't ask for something to clean his glasses on and that woman responded by
saying to use her sweater? How do you know anything about what is
happening? I clean my glasses on my shirt all the time. And really, this
is such a trivial and meaningless thing to spend time on when everyday this
administration shows it's disdain for the Constitution and for human
rights...But hey, look at this video of him cleaning his glasses on someones
sweater!!! Sheesh.

I wish I could go see this one. The clip was very interesting, very well
done and appeared very balanced. It appears to be a good inside look at the
situation there.

I wasn't for the war or what is happening now, but I can't help but think,
as I heard this very western looking person ask questions, that this movie
wouldn't have been possible 2 years ago when Saddam was in power.

Can't wait for this one and I'm hoping he really does the movie about Tony
Blair that he has been talking about doing.

Wow, how different we see things. I read nothing about neo-nazi's, nothing
about hatred, nothing about censorship in any of these that I looked at. As
far as what America was founded upon, isn't this the very core of it? These
citizens are choosing to express their opinion against Michael Moore and in
support of the current administration and its' policies. They are
exercising the right to protest, to campaign against something, and to
boycott something. Much the same as I don't shop at Wal-Mart because I
don't like their labor practices, their political donations, or the effect
they have on towns and cities.

Why should they see the film if they don't want to? I mean that is sort of
like me saying you should shop at Wal-mart before you complain about how
they treat their employees or boycott them for using underpaid oversees
labor.
