If the US did nothing in world politics, then I´m sure the next movie from Michael Moore would be called "Fortress USA - not caring for the world"... Like all men who desire another world order, then Michael Moore needs an enemy... The islamist choosed the US, because the western world is heavly represented by the US in economy, entertainment, science, power etc.... Even though the Islamist probably is more against the morals and values Michael Moore praises, then Michael Moore will rather choose the US goverment (no matter who is in power), because its difficult chasing down an islamist in Tehran asking him questions like "Mr. Mullah, why don´t you send your child to Paradise as a suicide bomber?" - the freedom of the US makes it possible for him to have an endless supply of "enemies" who are in power, but can not harm him.

I have seen Fahrenheit 9/11... My first tought was that if the theme had been about "Area 51", then it would not have been "Bush Haters" cheering, but "UFO Fanatics", however in both cases they started seeing the movie having a t-shirt on with the words "I want to believe"... goverment failure to protect, conspiracy against the people, foreign/alien power in the US, coverups, mysteries etc. All great ingredients in a Michael Moore movie, or in a X-File episode.

Each fact was followed by a short conclusion or comment, which left no room for doubt or question... ex. Iraq was a peaceful country according to Michael Moore, then BAM the US invades, and soldiers start slaughtering the people, while lisiting to western rock music.... ehhhh didn´t Moore forget about the MILLIONS of iraqis who live as refugees outside Iraq, and how they got there?h34r:

Also when he shows "the fact" about the unity behind Bush after 9/11, then he shows us an interview with young blonde Britney Spears talking about politics? Come on, there were people much older, much more wise, and with a democratic opinion who supported the war on terror - why show us a video with Britney Spears... is he saying that it was only the naive persons who supported this, because they lacked the insight? I had never heard Britney Spears talk about politics before, however Michael Moore tought it was important that I got her opinion

I could go on, however just like the UFO Fanatics already have a firm opinion about UFOs, then Moore Fanatics probably also have one about his movies... but to those of you who like Michael Moore´s movie, because you do not like Bush, well then do not get a tatoo with Michael Moore´s name, because once your politician is elected as President, then Michael Moore will have a new enemy
