Yes. Excellent point, Michael. And not only does it make people want to
argue, it drives war supporters like Hitchens into fits of rage. How dare
people question this noble crusade! How dare they laugh at & ridicule Dear
Leader! You see it across the corporate press spectrum. Moore has embarassed
what is comically called "the press," and they aren't pleased about it.
Another reason to embrace this film, regardless of its flaws.
