Hijacking Catastrophe:
9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire (2004)

"Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party used the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home. The documentary places the Bush Administration's false justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by neoconservatives to dramatically increase military spending in the wake of the Cold War, and to expand American power globally by means of military force."

cris; Keep in mind that most of the posters here can use the same 'rich' vocabulary as you, but they are too decent to soil a nice web site like this one. Take another chance to post and discuss without causing nausea to the rest of us, otherwise no one will take you seriously, OK? Now calm down, have some ice cream, or ice tea, stay away from any intoxicating and smelly substance, avoid unnecessary heart attack, or you will die before you are scheduled to :>)
You stated that none of the people who posted their comments know a damn thing about politics, you fail to realize that they are just comments from common people like me, and besides, I see no one here pretending anything, they are just commenting, it's part of our God given free speech, remember?
Alright hot head, here is a CHALLENGE for you, tell us what you know about politics, just make sure your vocabulary' is cleaned up, otherwise you'll bore your audience, I would suggest to rinse your mouth with listerine, kind of strong but efficient, trust me..
P.S. Let me give you one less worry cris, I'm not voting for BHO, at least not until he grows up a little. LOL

flagholder, are you really that stupid? you think America deserves what has happened? America defends every country in need in this god forsaken world. Even since Bush has been in office we've had no attacks. Keep up the stupidity and vote for Hussein, then we'll see what you are crying about then!!! Bush is awesome. The other countries are too damn busy defending themselves to attack America while Bush is in office ... as I said .. keep up the stupidity

The most heart breaking thing about watching these neo-con fascist take over the U.S. is that there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. Our votes don't count for *** because the media controls who gets elected. And if there is any kind of large scale protest, or attempted revolution even, it will be crushed by our police/military forces. Meanwhile, the poor and middle class march off to war to ensure that the rich get richer and remain in control. I don't buy the BS that says our vote can make a difference. Most, if not all, of the "elected" officials in government are bought and paid for, and they serve those that control the economy. When is the last time "your" government actually did something that made a real positive difference in your life? Think about it.

...they will fail for sure, The American empire is being shredded as it is currently going bankrupt, our great nation will be impecunious very soon. We will be punished to the madness of our succeding criminal administrations, and for the crimes they have been perpertrating against humanity for the last 60 years, a guy was right, nazism have never died, it simply changed location. We will be flushed down the toilettes of history, and that's garanteed.

It's natural to be disenfranchised, natural to react with rage to rage, natural to hurt others when they hurt us, but if the world is savage why should we become savage? And if we necessitate dialogue and a course of action that requires commitment and integrity perhaps we no longer are the savages we supposedly react to or ultimately become.

If the bear is asleep all will fear to wake him.
If he is up, all will see where he is and judge his moves.
The world would be a better place to let the bear sleep and tip toe in the woods.
