I am suspicious that many americans do not realize our history of making trouble over there, and how we overthrew a legitimately elected democracy in Iraq in order to help britain control middle eastern oil...

Yes, they showed it on tv in Japan about a year and a half ago. That's where I saw it.
I think EVERY American should see it. I thought of buying a copy and forcing my mom, brother, sister, etc to sit and watch it. Then maybe my mom would stop voting for Bush.
And to the guy who mentioned Capra, Yeah, duh--this IS the title of a recent documentary that alludes to the old Frank Capra one.
Incidentally, this documentary instilled in me a great respect for Dwight Eisenhower. Now there was a president.

The BBC it extremely is heavily packed with Liberals and advertises interior the chattering training ordinary rag The mom or father seems to think of anybody marching against militant Islam is racist they can't separate a faith from a human beings . they think of we could continuously merely appease them and desire they're going to alter in time there naive morons who don't comprehend that political islamism is a creed which expects the rustic to place up and settle for Sharia regulation. The EDL is a flow outfitted from a reaction to islamists spouting hate at British squaddies it has ethnic minorities in its club and waves banners stating Black and White Unite.

i have personally been their twice and going a third time as a mercenary. Why we fight is for the guy next to you, not for america for american people forget about the war, it's not new to them. If the american people really support the war then they would have ended it. making sure that your buddy gets home alive is the most important, just dealing with the mental aspect is the real battle. pray for our troops and never forget, the war maybe over their, but the soldiers fight the mental war until the day they die.

I did not see it. I will though and get back with you.
I watched one and two. I was struck by the warning from Eisenhauer about war being in the hands of corporations and not the country. So true.

first of all "why we fight" was done by Frank Cappra, in hollywood. to explain to the american people why and what was going on in the world at that time (circa '40,'41) much of what appeard in the doc was from captured axies propaganda film . maybe the one you refer to should be titled "another fine mess you've gotten me into,Ollie"

I purchased it when it came out a few months ago and was blown away by it. I have let many people view it to rave reviews.

The Fog of War is much better and possibly the greatest documentary of all time.
I thought Why we Fight was very boring.
