1. Kicked and fucking recommended.

It's high time that this is said out loud.

Why should the American people continue to buy into the mass marketed illusion being perpetrated on us? This nation brought 9/11 on itself! And the foreign policy being waged right now will bring future 9/11s on us and that is the very goal. These future 9/11s will justify perpetual war and an ever expanding MIC and empire. We should not tolerate it one moment longer.

2. Good theater

Too bad the video ended when it did 'cuz I would have liked to have heard what apparently were going to be counterpoints from the other guests. MM is 100% correct. Listening to people try to spin history otherwise is about as perversely interesting as overhearing a car salesman trying to put one over on an unsuspecting customer. It pisses you off, but it's still good theater.

3. Great for Michael Moore and Tony Bennett

We need to grow up. It's common sense that actions have consequences. We had (and still are) been bombing "them", along with numerous other human rights abuses. 9-11 was obviously blowback.

I'm glad that Michael Moore is standing up to the authoritarian goon squad that always appears when someone speaks the truth.

4. Bennett didn't say anything different than Ron Paul has said numerous times. nt

5. Careful Mr. Moore

Mike is quoting Chalmers Johnson I believe, the ex CIA official who coined "blow-back", when he said "if you whip a dog long enough, it's liable to bight you". As true as it is, I don't think the Arab's would appreciate the analogy. Maybe be more careful next time, or apologize while making your point :-)
