"Talk to an Iraqi"

The main point of the movie or at least the personal point of the main character, the Iraqi, was stated by him in the very beginning of the video: He always wanted to meet people that are for the war and ask them “Why are you for the war?” However the movie clearly tries to show the worsening of the Iraq caused by the American invasion and the ignorance of the U.S people to the events occurring in that Middle East country.
I completely agree with the Iraqi when he wonders why the war started if so many people in the United States are against it. In addition, just as he said, the U.S was under attack performed by southern citizens of southwest Asia, not Iraqis. Also, the American government usually uses the “slogan” that they are in the war for the liberation of the Iraqi people, which I could realize through the information in the movie that actually the United States, has not given any freedom to those Arabs.
I do not agree with the opinion of some people that blindly believe that the American troops are there in Iraq bringing freedom to the Iraqi citizens. The only benefit accomplished so far by the troops is the fall of Saddam Hussein. His fall came in a costly way though, which thousands of lives were lost from both sides.
Another disagreement that I have is with a woman that talks to Haider and proclaims how good George W. Bush is. In my opinion he was not prepared to be a president and He made the United States a worse country, economically and specially in the view of people from other countries.
Finally the conversation with the 11 years old girl was my favorite part of the movie. She symbolizes what actually the wise, truly American people think about the war.
