Wow! Michael's done it again! This book hits the nail on the head or maybe prunes the Bush would be a better phrase.
As usual, Michael has done his homework, researched and re-researched to bring us reporting worth reading.
Whether you're right of, left of or dead center, this is a must-read book if you're at all concerned, truly concerned about our country and its future.
If you're a shallow flag-waving jingoist, this isn't for you but if you're a thinking, sensitive concerned American citizen (one who votes-or intends to)this is a must-read.
Keep it up Michael, we need guys like you!

Just finished his new book and it was right on the mark. I have to hand it to Mike, he doesn't pull any punches. I'm a Republican who didn't vote for Bush and even I have to admit that Mr. Moore has guts to stand up to the PC crowd who try to shout down anyone who disagrees with the Bush/Cheney disastrous economic policies. Hooray for free speech!

This is an excellent book, and conservatives/Republicans are ruining the World. The last reviewer claimed to be "educated". First off, "educated" people don't write "propeganda", because they can spell. Furthermore, by whose standards is she "educated"? By America's? The country where over a third of every high-school aged students can't find their state on an unmarked map? Well now, THAT is saying a lot, right? An "educated" person would not even think that such statements as "make all the protestants catholic" and "make the israelis lie down on the road" are SERIOUS! Clearly, Mr. Moore is making a point, not a suggestion. But, of course, she's "educated". SHE DID NOT READ THE BOOK! She says SO! IS THAT A JOKE?! I am Canadian, and I can walk into any hospital in my country, present my medicare card, and get treatment. Sure, I will be put on a waiting list, and die before I get my organ transplant/radiation therapy/urgent surgery/whatever, but I know that the homeless man to my right and the plastic surgeon to my left will get exactly the same treatment I do. There are no "wallet biopsies" in a socialized healthcare system. When I first found out that in the United States, people got only the medical care they could afford, I was stunned. I was seven, and yes, I COULD find my province on a map. A review of a Helen Coldicott book, written by a Bush supporter, claimed she was a socialist, and that she supported people who invaded Afganistan. HELLO?! Why are we such MEDIA SLAVES?! So BLINDED by HIPOCRISY?! What were the U.S. armed forces doing in 2002? INVADING AFGANISTAN! And later? INVADING IRAQ! Iraq, a country who the U.S. had GIVEN WMD to when it was convenient (i.e.: the U.S. and Iraq had a common enemy; Iran). How can people be so SHORTSIGHTED and so HIPOCRITICAL?! The land of the FREE?! Helen Coldicott's documentary (Which won an ACADEMY AWARD!), is BANNED in the U.S. under a CENSORSHIP law as "Foreign PROPAGANDA". What was that blurb in the constitution about FREE SPEECH!? The pentagon says it has "enough nuclear weapons to kill every russian 40 times." That is so typical of the american government "shielding" americans from the truth! The truth? There are 143,782,338 russians (according to the CIA World Factbook). That means that the U.S. has enough nuclear weapons to kill 5,751,293,520 people. That is 5.7 BILLION! There are just over 6 Billion people on Earth. THAT IS ENOUGH TO KILL ALMOST EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET, or, in pantagon temrs, that is enough to kill every american 19.1 times. Most of the viewers of this page are americans. Think about how it would feel to (and this is what happens, according to Satsuko Thurlow, a Hiroshima survivor, who watched as it happened her sister and nephew, while she and several others were locked in their house with them) have your entire body burt so that you balloon up to twice your natural size and your burnt skin comes off whenever it comes into contact with anything, and have your internal organs slowly rot and disintegrate into black liquid, which slowly seeps from your body over the eight to ten days it would take you to die, unless, of course, some well-meaning family member gives you water, which would speed up the process. Now think about it happening 19.1 times. How about 40 times? Think about that next time you find yourself about to say "They should just nuke'em."
