The images of children playing and "life as normal" in Iraq got to me at first, but then I heard a relatively solid counter-argument to that. We all understand that Iraq was a bad, miserable place. This has been the general public outlook since the first Gulf War. I think the point Moore was trying to make is that despite what we tend to think of Iraq, there was still life and vibrance in this country we were about to bomb. Again, the whole bit, with the bombs hitting as the girl goes down the slide, was really pushing it, and bugged me.

i still havnt seen it but i'm venturing a guess that moore could be showing the viewers that Iraqi's are human beings not too unlike us..to counter that the right wing would have us believe they sit around burning american flags and plotting dirty nuke attacks.
Iraq, last i heard is 55% children under 15yrs old. and some people on the right are talking about nuking them still.. just insane.
maybe some of us are too left to really enjoy the movie but i'm psyched that it's getting a 97% recommendation and blowing predictions out of the water.. i hope it comes to my town so i don't have to waste gas travelling to see it. [/quote]
