Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?

That is the name of the documentary I just watched. It's by the same guy who did Super Size me. It gave a very interesting unbiased outlook on the conflict in the middle east. It's hard to describe this documentary. But one of the things that came out of the movie from all the people that he talked to is that they like Americans, they just don't like our government, and by being over there and killing Al Qaeda operatives we aren't doing anything. Even if we killed Osama Bin Laden it wouldn't matter because someone new would come and take over and his beliefs would still be out there infecting the minds of the vulnerable. But what we can do is work to prevent this from happening not by conflict but by rebuilding the communities and giving the youth opportunities to lead a happy life so they don't fall victim to Al Qaeda's brainwashing. This solution was actually from an American solider. Something interesting that was in the movie was that we actually supplied Saddam Hussein with weapons and ammunition for 10 years before we invaded. Anyway you might want to watch this movie Isaac you might find it interesting.

Interesting title..... sounds like an interesting documentary. I suppose that does make sense. I would love to watch it. Only problem is finding time, as we're going back into the school year and my schedule is about to get a lot busier (than it already is). =)
