Fahrenheit 9/11

These are from the Tri-City Hearald Editorials section. I am posting them because I totally agree with what they have to say and wanted to give them a wider audience. Again these are not my work .

Don't call it a documentary

If Fahrenheit 9/11 is a documentary about the war in Iraq, then Star Wars is a documentary about space travel.

John Connet, Pasco

Emotional Hogwash

It is amazing to me the attention garnered by Michael Moore's "documentary," Fahrenheit 9/11. Simply put, this movie is hogwash! Michael Moore calls it "his version of the truth." What exactly does that mean? It means that Moore dislikes the administration and made a movie full of lies in an effort to get other people to dislike it as well.
This man has imposed his extreme left-wing thinking on the general public with little regard as to it being truthful or not. Moore has craftily created a film that appeals to your emotions, not your logical thinking.
"Don't send the children," he quips. Does he relize that the entire force in Iraq and Afghanistan is volunteer? Does anyone else find his remarks calling our troops "children" more than a little disrespectful?
Some people are even basing their vote one this garbage. I find that comparable to basing my vote on a Satuerday Night Live skit. Please, do yourself a favor. Don't allow your logical thinking to be clouded by the emotional strings Moore pulls in his "documentary." Base your vore on what you think, not what Moore thinks. He calls President Bush a liar; perhaps he should take another look at his "documentary" before he opens his mouth again.
