I saw FH9/11 last Friday, and it did impress me. Not for the obvious liberal slant/bias, but in that it managed to be funny, sad and thought-provoking.
If there's only one valid point to be taken away from the film, it's that we should never, ever trust the government 100% when they spoon feed us a reason as to why we are invading another country that has never attacked us.
I think the evidence is now clear, even without considering anything that Michael Moore says in FH9/11, that our government duped and manipulated the American public into supporting the invasion of Iraq.
Does the end justify the means? I don't know, but I'm guessing that probably yes, in the long run it will. If Iraq becomes a successful, thriving democracy, where the Iraqi people control their own destiny...then it will have been worth it.
But try to explain that to all the remaining relatives(especially the children!) of the dead American servicemen and servicewomen who gave their lives in Iraq. In twenty years time, how many of us could look into their eyes and say that their sacrifice of growing up without a mom or a dad, was worth it?
This is why I think FH9/11 is an honorable film. It gets people to think out of the box and perhaps question their government's actions.
I would just as eagerly go see a similar film made by Rush Limbaugh. Any film that can provoke intelligent discussion is a worthwhile film, in my opinion.
