Great movie. I've always loved the way that Errol Morris -- the occasional silly visual effect aside -- lets a person just talk, so that we can judge for ourselves. I found it riveting, occasionally quite disturbing, and very useful. Even though I support the Iraq War, I am often frustrated at some of the decisions that have been made in terms of the way it is being conducted, and was amused to hear Fmr. Sec. McNamara grappling with the same issues with regard to Vietnam (although he actually seems to regret some of the decisions in WW2 more).



That's the sign of someone who actually saw the film.

Yeah, that totally justifies firebombing 100 000 civilians.

I know you'll say some "all's fair in war" crap, but you're wrong, it isn't.



Maybe when Canada is sneak-attacked, you'll understand. But Canada isn't America in so, so many ways.



So what about all the Americans who disagree with you? Are you saying they don't understand?

The Battle of Algiers is being re-released too, for those of you who haven't seen it. Good movie, not quite sure if it is an accurate parallel to the situation in Iraq, seeing how France's consideration of Algeria (as part of France as much as Provence or Normandy) is so different from how we see Iraq (get it established as an independent, sovereign and democratic nation as soon as possible and split)


Indeed; if you're going to rent a presicent film, rent the one prescient enough to have been screened for Pentagon employees.

The difference being that Hawaii was, you know, occupied and not practically in Japan.
