Moore

There
are times that you can't put your feelings into words when you are out of the
cinema after watching a great movie. 'Faranhait 9/11' can't be quoted as a great
movie and I don't think it's what Michael Moore expected as a comment of his
effort.
From the point of view as a UK/HK resident, I feel
sorry realising the fact that some of us have to get knowing these affairs via a
movie and some of us didn't even feel much about it, or didn't think it worth it
spending time to think again. It is a political movie and there is no doubt
about. Michael had a strong opinion as an American and the movie was heavily
influence by the fact that he don't want to see George W. Bush winning the
election. At the end of the day, he didn't raise up a flag saying the movie was
all about anti-war and he made it absolutely clear of how he defines war, in
which it really got into my head.
As an
individual, I feel lucky, I always do, not to be involved but I tried to get
involved, proud to be on the streets of London for an anti-war protest against
Bush and Blair in November 2003. That's the greatest thing I have ever done in
my life.
I was lucky enough to meet an Iraqi in
Egypt in June 2004 for a chat about the middle east and what I was told was
altogether a different story. The war of Iraq has ended with loads of trouble
waiting to be taken care with. But the core of the problem, according to a well
educated Iraqi people, was, is and will be
Israel.
May god will with us, bring us
peace.
