Fahrenheit 9/11: scary

Went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 last
night, and well worth the effort. Film critics don’t like it because they
think its lack of objectivity damages the documentary genre, and because the
publicity it’s generating overshadows more worthy films, but this stuff
needs to get to the widest possible audience, and who cares how it’s done?
One of the most frightening things for me was the suggestion – not really
followed through in the film – that the invasion of Iraq was because the
Saudis wanted it. The Saudis’ investment in the USA is so huge that if they
pulled the plug, it could cause economic disaster. So when your biggest
shareholder says jump, you jump. Scary.
