Excellent documentary on the perversion this Administration has foisted on the American public under the guise of the "Iraq War."The creators bypass the element of the lie that led us into this deception, but take up with the way this action has been carried out. There was no planning, no preparation, no concern for consequences. Advice was not sought and was not accepted. Unqualified cronies and loyalists were selected over experts to fill positions and determine policies. The Iraqis were not brought in as partners, but were subjugated to our command.What I found exceptional about this film was how it imparted to the viewer the experience of the Iraqi people. You share their somewhat qualified sense of hopefulness as the invading army rolls in. Perhaps it will lead to something better. We promised "democracy" and all the benefits that would come with it. We were there as "liberators." So they waited. But what followed was rampant looting and lawlessness. Shops, museums, schools, factories, hospitals all stripped not only of equipment and supplies, but down to the wiring and rebar. The army, which was mandatory and a source of employment for Iraqi males, was disbanded (but left armed). Bremer imposed "de-Bathification" which prohibited those in the Bath Party from normal employment. (Membership in the Bath Party had been a requirement for employment under Saddam, and was not necessarily indicative of loyalty.) Government food rations were cut off. So there was massive unemployment, no income to buy food, no hospitals, no schools, limited safe water, lack of electricity, etc. The "liberators" turned a deaf ear to the Iraqi people. So the liberators became unwelcome occupiers, and disgruntled citizens became insurgents. The troops the citizens had once welcomed, were now the same troops breaking down their doors at night and carting off their husbands, sons, and fathers. The viewer internalizes all this from the Iraqis perspective and is left with a sense of anger.These events unfold as interviews are conducted with government and military officials. It becomes clear that the Administration was repeatedly advised of the circumstances that were developing, but the warnings were ignored. Those who complained were removed from their positions. Those here at home made light of the situation. The public was reassured that all was going well. The interviews reveal the discrepancies, as officials disclose the information they conveyed and the indifference they were met with.For anyone who still feels there is any reason to defend this Administration for its policy in Iraq, insist they see this documentary.
