I've seen Fahrenheit 9/11. I've got the DVD.
Bushwacked? I haven't heard of that one. I have "Stupid white men" and "Downsize this" here. |

Bushwhacked is also a book like the two you mentioned. I havent read it but I love the name Bushwhacked.
I like Fahrenheit. Its one of those film that make you think for about 3 days after its over. |

I like Moores approach to the US situation. Of course its very polemic but I believe the facts he mentions in his books and movies are very well investigated. Plus he has achieved to open a few peoples eyes on what is going on (also behind the scenes). There is noone else who has critized the Bush administration so openly and especially with so much public/international attention.
To be honest: if thats really how the US functions and how the majority of the people "tick" there, then it its very scary imo! Unfortunately I've only been to the US for a 5 hour "drive-through"  so I'm lacking of personal experience.
P.S. "Bowling for Columbine" is highly scary as well! |

| moore argues that the first presidential election where bush won by a very small margin was rigged. i think its possible considering his brother is governor of that state and lots of influential republicans were involved. then again it could just a conspiracy theory. |

not only Moore is argueing that. There was quite a big fuss about it then in the States in general. I believe its certainly more than just a theory. |

I liked the film as well. It really resonated in many of american ears and minds as to how we could hand over the most powerful position in the world to a cowboy that had never been out of the country until his election. Trust me, there are many many Americans that do not tick as Bush does. The Cowboy mentality does unfortunately exist here but it depends in which spheres you choose to travel. |
