nope, from what I heard the reaction was quite mixed.
But I assume that you can manipulate the public with editing the reaction of the crowd:
-if all people would have booed, people, who watch it in TV would think "moore is obviously an idiot"
-if all people would have cheered, people would think "maybe he has a point"
thats how the public works, and thats how CNN tries to manipulate.

Sorry, but people need to see those picture, cause next time they start calling for a war or to "kill em all" they need to know what war is about, they need to now the war is
not a video game. Which all those nice pictures people tend to forget that.

Yes, but I also think there were couple a misguided US missiles, anti-aircraft guns don't make such a big explosion. But truth about that will never be presented, the Iraqi goverment is no more and the US Goverment has no interest in doing so.
