Prof. Reiland rightly pegs Moore as someone who will do or say anything, irrespective of reality-and in spite of the truth-in his 24/7/365 hatred-driven crusade against Mr. Bush and America.

He also punctuates how important the opinion of non-Americans is for the likes of Moore and others who appear to loathe not only themselves but also America. Didn't presumptive Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry make a big to-do about being endorsed by unnamed foreign leaders-and, if elected, going to the feckless U.N. and some European countries to grovel before them, begging their forgiveness for America having sullied its international relations and refusing to give up its sovereignty?

It's going to backfire for the Democrats to be so represented by Mr. Moore and his latest mockumentary. It's unbelievable, though sadly predictable, that none of them have had the conviction to condemn Moore for his lies, distortions and anti-Americanism.

He certainly seems to be right, though, about some Americans being a few slices short of a full loaf. He told the London Daily Mirror that Americans "are possibly the dumbest people on the planet." For sure, somebody's going to his movies in the U.S., enough to make him a millionaire. And it sure seems that many folks, including politicians and pundits, agree with his "analysis" and his point of view about how terrible America is.

I guess their choice represents one of the cherished freedoms we have: In a country in which dissenting voices can be heard-though seditious ones should be held fully accountable for their treason-it's permissible for people, regardless of their schooling and experience, to be ignorant, stupid and gullible.

At least there's a cure for ignorance, though.

p>But when will there be one for the hatand its people by the leftists, Hollywood, the partisan news media, some liberals and America's clone of Nazi-propagandist Leni Riefenstahl? br> -- C. Kenna Amos Jr. br> Princeton, West Virginia /p>

Should such an ignorant professor have a class to teach? The Kuwaiti incubator HOAX that you refer to was put on by the same people who have been crying "WMD's in Iraq!!" (which there are none found nearly one and a half YEARS since we've been there...hmmm) and was dispelled quite some time ago.

p>Instead of blatant misinformation, how about asking hard questions, like why is VP Cheney still not being investigated for his obvious links to Halliburton, or anybody questioning the administration for what was said in the film, or doing any fact checking on their own? Oh, yeah, don't bother me with facts, I have my mind made up already.... br> --
