If all Americans would make a point of watching the movie Fahrenheit 9-11, I believe that President Bush would get very few votes in the coming election in the States. The scene that impressed me the most was the woman crying her heart out in fear and hatred toward the United States. She had lost her home and five members of her family by the bombing. She was so distraught she was begging her god, which is Allah, to please come to her aid in her grief. "Please, Allah, where are you, please help me!" This scene left a tear or two welling in my eyes. President Bush can't make a speech without blowing up the danger of terrorist attacks on innocent people. He is constantly scaring the public about terrorism. People who live in fear cannot be happy. He brags about hunting down the terrorists and killing them. So far he hasn't killed any to my knowledge. Watching that film with the makeup artists combing his hair and he rolling his eyes around like a clown made him look extra foolish. He looked genuinely stupid in that scene. Check it out for yourselves. Everyone should get that movie Fahrenheit 9-11. It demonstrates a lesson on the effects of terrorism on free people. His staff or advisors advised him to bomb Afghanistan some more. His answer was "There aren't any more important places to bomb so let's make war on Iraq." The small country of Iraq which never threatened the U.S. or never killed any American was now going to be declared war upon. So Mr. Bush plunged the American people into a needless and very unnecessary war. This brought hatred toward the U.S. by millions of people in the world. The debt to the American people runs into billions of dollars and is still counting because the war isn't over yet. This debt to the taxpayers of the U.S. was so unnecessary. I'm sure a lot of people throughout the world remember the old barb that said, "And they shot men like Abraham Lincoln!" ? Steve Person
