It is rare to find a documentary that is fairly objective like this. It shows multiple points of view within the U.S. It shows from each end of the spectrum to the other. You have the left-wing "Hate America First" group that is generally well informed, and holds similar views of America as the rest of the world, then you have the people in the middle that are completely uninformed/misinformed, then there is the right-wing "They hate us for our freedom" crowd which are the ones that really bug me, and last but not least, the extreme right, which I have more respect for because they know we do not go to war to liberate people, or create democracies, but for A) OIL - For ourselves B) Stop the formation of OPEC going to the euro for its standard C) OIL - To control who does and does not get more (e.g. China) D) WAR itself, Halliburtons, United Defense (e.g. The military industrial complex) E) To distract from the absence of domestic policies to benefit the people (i.e. trillions of $$ of taxes, and no health-care) - CUBA has a better educational system, and unified health-care system !orF) ALL OF THE ABOVEUnfortunately, it does not got deeper into why these people hold these views, where they got their information, etc...Some of the opinions are not actually opinions at all, they are carefully cultivated by P.R. groups. I do like how some of the people are so frank though, and really just do give a crap about other people.Never underestimate the power of apathy.....
