And, as Kenobi said after that, "You will find that many things depend on our point of view." Nothing Michael Moore, the 9/11 Commission, or any organisation on either the right or left should be taken as the gospel truth. I always take Moore's arguments with a grain of salt, as I do any strong point of view, because certain facts are always going to slip under the radar. Perhaps his reason for leaving the one senator who said he would send his children to Iraq out of the film was because it didn't follow the trend of statements from the rest, and as such would stick out like a sore thumb, leading people to believe that more than that one senator would support such a decision.


For the record, I consider myself to be a moderate conservative, and look on Fahrenheit 9/11 as a continuation of Moore's argument in Bowling for Columbine, which is that the United States has systematically developed a culture of fear, a position you will find that many moderate conservatives agree with.
