Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d'Or
Laukev7:
Bush is not a dictator. He sure acts like one, but he is nothing but a puppet. A better term for the current regime would be 'oligarchy' or 'plutocracy'. Bush is certainly a power hungry lunatic, but who's really in charge is the tentacular neoconservative mafia infiltrated in the government and the mass media. One only has to look at the signatures on the PNAC website to get a good sample of those people (though the PNAC is by no means the only organisation to be wary of).

So to get back to what I said before.
I can't wait till that nazi is out of office
Means I can't wait till that Nazi and his party gets out of office. But does not mean Bush is Hitler, just a really really dumb puppet. But him being gone would mean people like Ashcroft (Who really is like Hitler) and all the rest of his cronies, rumphiled, condolez rice etc, would be gone too.
Now is that better.

I really do not like Bush, but I am very sceptical when people say he staged 9/11. I just really have a hard time buying that.

me too actually, although i think there is little doubt that the cause of the 9/11 attack was initiated/provoked by the USA's foreign policy in the firstplace, intentionally or not.
also, re: Michael Moore, he makes documentaries and is a very level headed journalist. For this reason i think i can trust him a lot more than more sensationalist "journalists", and sources of propaghanda. Moore makes the effort to go the long way round so that whathe produces is factual and plausible. This is why he makes people angry, because they know that when they disagree with him, it is not because he is biased. He may be biased, but he gives you the straight option to see why in his work, and doesn't misrepresent his opinion as the only truth.
I too am looking forward to this new one. interesting to see that everybody in this thread says the same thing. remember a few years ago you couldn't say you liked michael moore or anything like that without dozens of foaming right wingers shouting about how they died in the war for us ungrateful youths and how we should be grateful the USA saw of the pinkos and made the world safe for us? (take a look around suckers)...
