[eDebate] Fahrenheit 9/11

I am glad to know that efforts to hold leaders accountable for their 
actions in the foreign policy realm are now deemed unpatriotic, and 
potentially treasonous. How does your model of representative 
government work, Duane?

Even if you contest the accuracy of some of Moore's claims, do you 
honestly think that his conclusions (Bush and his compatriots pulled 
out all the stops to win the election and push the country to go to war 
with Iraq) are inaccurate?

I think that it is a tragedy when any innocent (or not-so-innocent) 
person dies, including American soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

PS: Perhaps if people had held FDR accountable for his decisions, he 
would have done far more to stop the Holocaust.
