Where is the conservative mantra "let the market decide," now that Fahrenheit 9/11 has broken commercial records? The market has decided in favor of this movie and against mainstream media spin of the war in Iraq. The right-wing shibboleth of market logic--if it has the moral force conservatives insist that it has--stands as a stunning refutation of attempts to suppress this film and to deny its credibility. Abandoning the market logic argument amounts to ignoring an intense popular curiousity, which mainstream media has evidently failed to satisfy, surrounding the war and the Bush administration.
Another point: if the war in Iraq really is a war to liberate the Iraqi's from an oppressive regime, or a war on terrorism, and has nothing whatsoever to do with oil, then why not pass a law prohibiting U.S. concerns from profiting from the oil in the region? In addition to a separation of church and state, there should be a separation of corporations and state. The pursuit of freedom, democracy and justice must not be tainted with corporate interest.
