So was Moore being sympathetic to terrorists or was he just being critical of the Bush Administation ?
He was being critical of the Bush administration. Mostly for using war to gain approval and money and for hypocritically supporting the Saudis, also for money.
He also took a number of jabs at Bush for bein an idiot, and that\'s where you have to stop listening and just enjoy the humor in his jabs.
Moore has a dry sense of humor, but you can tell when he\'s making a point and when he\'s taking a personal shot.
There are times that his logic takes a leap of faith that\'s a bit big to swallow, but other times he points out things like how the administration neglected to read reports directly alluding to 9/11.
Heh, he also shows a congressman who passed the Patriotic Act, which Moore disagrees with, and the guy talks about how most congressmen don\'t read the acts they pass. That was pretty amazing, heh.
And he does get on the Florida election saying Bush stole it, but he doesn\'t show enough facts to support that claim. That\'s too bad, because it was an interesting piece of the film. He was trying to demonstrate that black voters were left out of the process, but didn\'t show how. He also mentioned how the Bush family and friends were in charge of the local government and election process in Florida, but he didn\'t show how that influenced the decision.
He also takes a nice shot and the media.
