To anyone who has not seen the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, I recommend going to see it. Michael Moore well deserves the Palme d’Or at Cannes, for having dared to make a documentary of this caliber, with such severe and brilliant criticism, at a time when, in the U.S., criticizing the President is considered by those in power a betrayal of everything the American people hold good, noble and holy. Criticizing the government can bring hair-raising consequences thanks to the totalitarian powers of the Patriot Act, to the utter detriment of the so-called “American spirit,” as today’s New York Times editorial (Interrogating the Protesters) denounces. That Bush should still have the support of 50% of the electorate today, just as he had it in 2000, is proof that statistics works: half the population is dumber than average.
