Fahrenheit 9/11

I finally watched it this morning and enjoyed it more than I had expected. I can't say much about it being politically correct or false thereof, but I do agree with the human sentiment protrayed. Starting off with the bigoted leaders of the wealthy nations, well I doubt if anyone will ever be able to get a true picture of them. What they do and what it is they want, particularly with the power and involvement of media. Though its evident that nobody believes a word they say. Or at least thats what I hope for.

You can't just wipe out an entire nation just because you have issues with its leader or a certain group living in the country. And even though the film was emotionally moving, its depiction of the Saudis suggests that four years back US should have gone at the war with KSA instead of Iraq or Afganistan. I mean doesn't anyone get it? Killing innocent people is WRONG. There is no way to justify the death of a slaughtered human being. But the saddest part is that I have done absolutely nothing to help or aid even a single person. We all live in our own selfish shells. We see and forget. Fours years since the wars begun, and how much has changed? If anything more and more people have died and suffered. Or do we believe that everything is out of our control? Maybe it is. But what harm is a little effort on our part making?
