War Made Easy gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Guided by media critic Norman Solomon’s meticulous research and tough-minded analysis, the film presents disturbing examples of propaganda and media complicity from the present alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading journalists from the past, including Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, dissident Senator Wayne Morse, and news correspondents Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer.
Norman Solomon’s work has been praised by the Los Angeles Times as “brutally persuasive” and essential “for those who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee.” This film now offers a chance to see that context on the screen.

I remember when the war began and I was in middle school, everyone including myself wanted everyone in Pakistan, innocent and all, dead. Now that I'm learning the truth it's no laughing matter.
Thanks for the trailer wholefreespirit.-

there is a good doc' called "why we fight" about just that. there is no end to the material that is spreading the truth about the Bush administration and there is no reason why anyone should not know the truth. you do not need to be alex jones [or even like him] to know that we have been lied to over and over again and that a plan has been in place for hundreds of years to keep bloodlines in power.
i can't find a link to 'why we fight' but a few other things worth watching are...

Our country's economy is based upon us being in war; peace is not on the table.
I detest war.....
I guess that killing for profit/power, is what this world is about? no where to run......?

This is exactly what people need to see to pull their head out their asses about the Bush administration and just how illegal and corrupt this war is.... Great post Free!!!

No war has been declared fully since WWII..... Anyone who pays attention knows just about every war after that we have caused.... Unfortunately not many people pay attention untill its too late.

No one wanted to ask the tough questions in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. No one wanted to appear to be 'soft on terror'. We all bought into the 'case for war.' Even myself. Let us all hope that the news media most Americans rely on for their information will be more dillegent and report the whole story in the future. And that more Americans will ask questions... lots of questions...
