Who has seen "Why We Fight" ? Looks excellent! >>>
Edited on Thu Feb-16-06 03:51 PM by Stephanie

The trailer is here:

http://www.sonyclassics.com/whywefight/

The clip at the website is the first time I have seen video of Eisenhower's remarks about the Military-Industrial complex. Boy, it is a lot more chilling on film than it is on paper.

The film has interviews with Kristol, Perle, and Karen Kwiatkowski. Also one of my favorites, Joseph Cirincione.

1. I saw it! Very good...
Its sort of like a PBS special though. Lots of talking heads. I dont think you learn much new info, but its a good watch.

2. Good one. rent it through Netflix soon if it doesn't come to an internet
er...I mean movie theater near you.
Favorite moments: the Halliburton/KBR representative literally playing card tricks at a weapons systems tradeshow and proudly proclaiming his company's collusion--his word!-- with the government and military.
Chalmers Johnson: "military contractors' profits were up X percentage last year alone: I guarantee you when war is that profitable, you're going to see more of it."
