I only had a few problems with the movie.
One: Moore says that Iraq never tried to kill an American. Thats just not true. We were at war with previously at war with Iraq, I pretty sure he tried to kill some people then. He also tried to assasinate the first Bush.
Two: The mother crying goes on for way too long. There comes a point where it goes from showing the cost of war to pulling a cheap shot to making people emotional. I don't like it when someone tries to manipulate my emotions to prove a point rather than giving me a reason to believe them.
Three: He never takes all of the connections he puts forth and makes a conclusion from them. The only conclusion you get is that Bush is neck deep in Saudi money. You're never told what any of these things mean.
