Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.

Following up on 'Bowling for Columbine', film-maker Michael Moore provides deep and though-provoking insights on the American security system, the level of paranoia, fear, uncertainty, false values and patriotism, which all combined together to set a stage for George W. Bush to launch a war on Iraq instead of focusing on getting the real culprit(s) behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This documentary also focuses on how some Saudis were safely and secretly flown out of America while planes were ostensibly grounded after the attacks. Archived film footage, candid interviews with politicians, and an overall waste of public funds for a war that was initiated on false pretension to wit: a weapon of mass distraction - to take the focus away from the real enemy and get Americans glued to their TV sets to watch innocent Iraqis and Afghans getting killed. And a war that would eventually alienate the U.S.A. and it's citizens from almost every country on Earth. Written by

God bless you, Florida! Thank you!
Narrator:
Did the last four years not really happen? Look, there's Ben Affleck. He's often in my dreams. And the Taxi Driver guy. He was there too. And little Stevie Wonder, he seemed so happy... like, like a miracle had taken place. Was it a dream? Or was it real?

This is not great drama like "Gone with the Wind" or "L.O.T.R".
It is not impartial or even fair, but what is? It is not great cinematography, but does it claim to be?
F 9/11 isn't a lot of things that people go to movies for, but it is reality.
a quick note: Although this documentary deals with necessarily heavy subject matter, it dispenses humor accordingly. Lest you think it without levity, think again, like many of Moore's films, humor is used cautiously.
To fight this movies' thesis is a matter of denial. See it and decide for yourself, gritty reality or glossy news-magazine, what will you chose?
