Why We Fight

Has anyone seen this documentary? Very well made movie analyzing the Eisenhower coined term, "Military-Industrial-Complex". Examining the relationship between the military and major corporations. Check it out, it's really good. And somewhat terrifying.


What I realized from this movie, the U.S. is an imperialistic empire that hides behind certain events throughout history to bring them into a war. Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, they're all catalysts that allow our government to justify to the people reasons to go to war. Once we're at war, we stand to make trillions of dollars. Do you know why there was no timetable or exit strategy before we went into Iraq? Because we don't plan on leaving the 2nd largest oil reserve in the world.

i should check it out, sounds like left-wing propaganda to me ! that.s not meant in offense, i use that term to label all films that try to bring truth to the surface. like fahrenheit 9/11. or the US vs Jon Lennon. if you want a good movie, check that one out, it had me in tears !

I don't know if its 'Propaganda' necessarily. I guess you have to be careful what you believe because you never really know what the real truth is.
