    Covers nothing that happened in the past four years and avoids putting a light on Obama's bus policies. Completely irrelevant in 2012/13.

    Yeah I think the documentary was good. But I think they need to be doing a part 2 and it is misleading at the end. They need to show how Obama didnt end the war in Iraq. Iraqis of all people ended the war and kicked the U.S. out. Big difference there than when Obama brought them home. They need to talk about the U.S. war propaganda against Iran has been getting hot under Obama etc etc. Its time for a Part 2.

    Couldn't agree more. This was an excellent documentary, covering a large scope of history. But a sequel is due, especially on how the effects of the past 4 years on the development of the antiwar movement.

    I find particularly compelling the Iraq War Veterans Against the War aspect of the documentary. Nice job! It is a story that needs to be told.

    Thank you for downloading my e-book (WORLD WAR III – A FUNERAL FOR ALL HUMANITY?) , please review on Amazon e-bookstore, Barnes &Noble e-books store and more -so that we can make future versions even better.
    The book is dedicated to all lovers of peace in the World Today.
    No doubt, we must condemn the territorial and commercial wars of our contemporary period, with our merciless involvements of the innocent. We must demand as a matter of urgency that ethical values, humanity and respect for the rights of others in submission to truth and to what is right, shall be made regnant over the thinking and living of all mankind, and insists that until that demand is realized the world can never find its way to peace and quiet.

    There really needs to be a reliable, consistent counter-news source who has the confidence and trust of US victim nations to get the straight scoop from their point of view. pr de biz mi eklemedik
