I was watching Bill Maher's show and I couldn't believe how the Iraqi soccer team reacted to Bush's ad that showed them. One guy said he would never thank a baby killer and another player went as far as to say he'd be joining the resistance if he weren't playing soccer. Throughout the Olympics they were portrayed as these guys who were grateful for their "freedom", but their response was different. These guys were tortured by Saddam's brothers, but in the end they hate Bush just the same. With the bombings and sanctions put on Iraq, how could we expect a different response?
I remember the part of Fahrenheit 9/11 when the marine said he would not go back to Iraq and kill other poor people. There was also the part where the mother was standing over rubble that was their home and how she cursed America for causing so much death. I never understood why the "liberal" media ignored the most powerful part of the movie, but I believe they ignored it because it was true. There is never an updated body count of innocent people who have died in Iraq. Since we're sheltered from the all the death and carnage we don't pay attention to its consequences. Imagine if your family was killed in bombing, would you be thankful?
