Do you really believe that all of these were just mistakes?

Come on guys (and girls), even a total idiot doesn't make that many mistakes.

And all the money that has been spent on this, tax money from the ordinary citizen. Well, as mentioned above, they could have ended the world hunger problem with that, or they would have been better off investing it in alternative energy, then they wouldn't have needed that 20% oil. But no, let the people just starve and be dependent on our (=rulers') oil. Of course, the Bush and Rumsfeld families, among others, have made a fortune off this.

This is simply intentionally destroying a country (and its inhabitants) (for personal gain, among other things).

They could also have given it an alternative title here: "How to create a terrorist state".

This multi-award-winning documentary reveals in an insightful and understandable way how, and above all why, US political leaders decided to target Iraq in the aftermath of 9/11. Naturally, this plays right into the hands of everything liberal, but what makes this film so convincing is the fact that the interviewees are all insiders—people who were directly involved in the decision-making and implementation. Furthermore, Charles Ferguson exposes what motivated Bush, Powell, Cheney, and their cronies, as well as the incompetence of a government lacking people with direct war experience, and especially that of Paul Bremer, the interim governor of Iraq, whose blunders would have a huge impact on public opinion regarding the US in the Middle East. As harrowing as it is fascinating, this documentary places the current problems in the Middle East in a recent historical context.

The unbearable lightness of being an American.

Nowadays, we are hardly surprised anymore when it comes out that half the American government is made up of nepotism and cronyism, that the primary driving force is not a higher morality but a profit model, and that law is viewed as a tool of power, not as a concept in itself.

Back then, we were still somewhat surprised by it. That a war was waged without provocation, that American citizens had to lay down billions and billions plus their blood for it, and that a handful of rich people pocketed it and, in passing, plundered a country.

It would be nice if we learned something from it for a change. But for now, it seems that only that handful of rich people have learned anything—that they don't have to care about anything anymore, for example. That the law only applies to poor people. Or an ideology, a higher morality.
