Last Saturday I saw Fahrenheit 9/11,, the latest film from controversial documentary maker Michael Moore.. Yes, that is me, next to him.

Having seen his previous films, particularly Bowling For Columbine - which dealt with a very sensitive subject in a very compelling way - I found 9/11 to be somewhat heavier-going. As much as it was incredibly interesting, and held the audience's attention for just under two hours, it was fairly depressing stuff, if only because you know it's a documentary, not a work of fiction (shut up with your smartass comments right now).

In short, it tells the tale of the Dubya presidency, from his dubious election "win", through to the current day, with the US Army in Iraq. The film blends archive footage of members of the current administration, with interviews with soldiers, ex-FBI and other government agency staff, and news footage from America's TV networks.

It paints a pretty bad picture of both George Bush Snr and George W. Bush. Even if only half of what Moore claims in the film is true, Dubya should be impeached tomorrow. It also shows the multi-faceted layers of lies, propaganda, misinformation and downright bullshit the the current Republican administration has perpetrated.

Some of it I already knew about (like the Bin Laden family helping fund George W.'s purchase of an oil company, and years later, his letting them charter planes to get the Bin Laden family members out of the US during the three-day nationwide air travel ban, immediately after 9/11).

Some of it I didn't know about (like the years and years of George Bush Snr schmoozing the Saudi Arabians, despite their horrendous human rights record).

Some of it, I almost didn't want to know about - like the footage of a Saudi Arabian public beheading, or the many dead and maimed Iraqi children shown all too graphically.. Then again, I think I prefer brutal honesty in my reportage than the glossy-coated pandering to the President, that the US press seems to be engaged in these days.

Much as I like a lot of Michael Moore's work, I always try to be objective about it. There were one or two occasions where I think he let the camera linger too long on a grieving mother, or an injured child. It felt like our feelings as an audience were being played with. That said, there were only a couple of moments in the film like that, and frankly, when you compare that, to what the Bush dynasty has done to the world, it's hardly as bad.

I could go on at length about all the dreadful and dubious facts that are uncovered in the film, but you should just go see it instead. If you're a Republican, you should definitely make an effort to see it, because whatever you might think of Michael Moore, there are enough cold hard facts about President Fuckwit and his merry men, that you'd be hard pressed not to agree that they're a bunch of hypocritical, dishonest weasels, who should be thrown out of office tomorrow.

And by the way, this isn't about them being Republicans. This is about them lying to the American people, and indeed the world, hurting innocent people, and driving the US economy so hard into the ground that the country is in the worst recession since the 1930's. Personally, if John McCain had one the Republican nomination in 1999, and the presidency in 2000, I wouldn't have been so bothered. As Fahrenheit 9/11 points out, the whole George W. Bush presidency has been one lie after another.

I'm left wondering if President Bush will be shown this film. I wonder if his aides will show him a censored version so's not to confuse him. I'm also left wondering if one day, Michael Moore will meet with an untimely death in an "accident". I hope not. America needs someone to stand up and try to make people accountable.

Just go see the film, and make up your own mind.
