In Reply to: Michael Moore won the Cannes festival... posted by patrickU on May 22, 2004 at 11:34:32:
Somebody has to do what Moore does. Take an issue and work around it. In Bowling to Columbine he took the issue of guns in the US. Other than countries with a lot of political violence, the US is the only country with a "gun culture" so intertwine with the political culture.Nobody in the world would believe that the US went to Irak with "good intentions". If the goal was to make countries more democratic the US has a lot of countries to invade. It was oil control and a sense of left overs feelings from the first golf war.
Thank you Mr. Moore for making us think about this issues. By the way I never believe what the USA Today or the Fox News say. I place them at the same place with Mr. Moore. trying to advance their political points of view.
