THE AWKWARD CONSCIENCE OF A NATION - Michael Moore - M&Ms
Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 06:51 PM by dArKeR
MICHAEL Moore sits in a Santa Cruz hotel room outlining his dream to parade a hand-cuffed George Bush before the world as a two-bit crook when word comes in that yet another American soldier has been killed in Iraq.

The scatter-gun humour and throaty laughter fade as the grizzly bear in the baseball cap falls silent. Then in slow, deliberate tones, he spits out his anger:

"So what do you tell his parents, hmm? What did he die for? To protect America? No. So what's the reason? What would Haliburton (the US oil giant formerly run by Vice-President Dick Cheney and now helping to rebuild Iraq) say if they knocked at the door? 'Sorry your son died, but I think we're going to get that oil as a result of it. So hey, come on, cheer up. At least Arnie can fill up his Hummer now.'

"It's so disgraceful and so disgusting."
