The good old days, when a country protested war....
To a small extent, I protested the Vietnam War. It was amazing to see how many young people, and adults, were against that war.
Until I watched this movie, I had assumed that the reason there was little war protest in the US was the lack of a draft.
(Cindy Sheehan and her group cannot be even remotely compared with The Anti-War Movement of the 60-70s.)
This movie made it all very clear why there will not be a major anti-war movement any time soon:
Those running the show realized their mistake with Vietnam and got the media on board with them.
War became big business and glitz. Dissenting voices need not apply.
Another amazing tidbit from the movie:
In WWI, 10% of the casualities were civilians.
In Iraq, that figure is about 90%.

Osama proven x or remaining CIA,
Mohmoud Ahmadinejad, I accept is an unknown quantity
Hugo Chaves, what is your beef with him?
Start reviewing the CIA and corporate organizations causing millions of annual deaths and poor quality of life for millions of global people, Start looking further than CNN and Fox news.
Geez it kills me how many throw out the anti American card without taking a good long and hard look at history. responses like this are taken straight from the O'Brien show.
Even if the view is what you call anti American, it is only anti-American from your view and others who hold the same value set as you. Please remember not all of us believe Muslims are going to take over the world, nor should we bomb them in fear they do.
I recommend such a media born mind set as you have be washed in some serious history lessons on the US foreign policy development since your country gained it independence.
