pasitheaMy friend Susan suggested I watch this. It's about some of the background reasons for why the US is in Iraq (which he suggests it tied more to Nixon removing the US from the Gold standard and the growth of the Euro) If you're an american, this should scare the crap out of you.
Great presentation though. It's actually a comedy routine somewhere between James Burke's Connections and George Carlin's stand-up. This is the kind of brilliance I really appreciate. He's taken uncomfortable information and presented in a way that people will understand it and in a way they'll listen to it. Far far more productive than just screaming angrily. I really need to work on this.
