Default WAR MADE EASY: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death

WAR MADE EASY: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death
Narrated by Sean Penn and based on the work of media critic and best-selling author Norman Solomon, who traveled with Penn to Baghdad just before the war to call attention to the dangers of a U.S. invasion, WAR MADE EASY reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose 50 years of government spin and media collusion that has dragged our country into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. With remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, the documentary exposes how presidential administrations of both parties have relied on a combination of deception and media complicity to sell one war after another to the American people.

A world without war,what a nieve concept! There will be wars and rumors of war till the end of time. We can let "others" shape our destiny or we can participate in shaping it ourselves,why leave destiny to chance alone? I'm not sure I would like the vision "others" have for my future.If you are "comfortable" with letting others or fate shaping your destiny..go for it..

The world is far more complex than Sean will ever have the intellect to understand.We all want peace but at what price?

"Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!" ...William Wallace

Aye indeed...

9/11 was it's own spin. Reality sometimes does that. The real spin was while in Afghanistan, Iraq. became the focus.
Several new documentaries coming out will show how it was done. Congress was reading a script from the W.H. Only the old Byrd and several ladies were against it from before it was approved because of the fear script. And funny only 3 weeks before their election. Americans need to wake up and be part of the process of their own government. Simple REALITY.

That'll never happen long as there's 'reality' TV for the masses
