Personally I think your article stinks and here is why:

"Not terrible in the sense of "misleading and dishonest" (which of course, it was), but terrible in the sense of "tedious, badly edited, and incompetently directed"."

The last time I checked, in order to make a documentary all that is needed is a camera that keeps rolling and a microphone to speak into...I don't think it requires much rocket science...I mean at least in my opinion the film did not make my head spin like it did after sitting through a movie like "The Blair Witch Project".

"The difference is that Moore thinks he's making an argument. He thinks that showing video of Paul Wolfowitz spitting into his hand and rubbing his hair is a way to argue against waging a war. Or showing Britney Spears voicing her mindless support of whatever the President does is a way to refute George Bush's words and actions."

If the only thing you got out of watching that movie was Brittany Spears opinion about the president and some guy spitting into his hand to make an argument you have a serious perception problem. What about Moore questioning fellow republicans in office if they would themselves send their kids off to war? What about the connection between Bush's oil company Haliburton and the Saudis considering the Saudis make up about 20% of the American economy?

If you had even an ounce of intelect, you would know that the purpose behind's Moore's film was not to form an argument against Bush but to mock him!

"Moore's use of these bubble gum pop songs showed the seriousness with which he takes terrorism, rights violations, and national security."

The use of "bubble gum pop songs" was brilliant-not only did it not show the seriousness of which Moore takes on terrorism, rights violations, and national security but it effectively mocks Bush's views on these same issues.

"Unlike a slob like Michael Moore, a president needs to do something about terrorism. A president needs to make decisions and act. Those decisions may be right or wrong, but something must be done. The fact that any decision can be ridiculed by any Monday-morning quarterback does not an argument make."

"How about showing some balls and telling us specifically what we should do about terrorism, Moore?"

A president needs to make decisions and act-yes he does and he did-he took action only a mere 20 minutes after he found out that the country was under attack!! Wow that decision must have been a tough one to make considering he acted 20 minutes later!!

If you are expecting Moore to come up with ways to fight terror-you are a moron, even if you stated it in rhetoric-you still are a moron! You do not need to be in office or the president of this country to make a bold statement even if you are just a monday morning quarterback. At least someone got up and gave a little more insight to the public of what really goes on and for that I give Moore credit. I'm sure if someone else did Moore would not feel the need, in fact, I think he would be happy just sitting in front of the tube all day eating nachos and the having the occasional masturbation-I don't think it would affect his life any.

"Easily the most glaringly obvious element of incompetent propaganda was the scene showing Iraqi children laughing and playing in the peaceful, utopia of Iraq before the US invasion."

I'm sorry I just could not leave this one alone. For your very kind information there is a flip side to Sadam Hussein's dictatorship in Iraq and that is the USA's!! If showing terror by "Islamic fundamentalists" upon innocent victims is not enough, it is not enough to show the peaceful lives of others on the other side of the world before it got taken away by the untimely act of war!!

It is so sad in this day and age to come across people who are so quick to ridicule and judge those who choose to stand up for the truth and give insight to those who are unaware...it is a great thing to do so and to do it in a country that allows it. I think that you have nothing better to do than to critize those who make a difference, because you lack something yourself. There is always a higher purpose in life and it is in our best interest to find it.

Editor's Note: If I thought someone was a murderer, I wouldn't make shadow horns over his head and say "Isn't he funny?" Moore makes a mockery of taking issues of life and death seriously. That is why he is a worthless scumbag. (JR)
