Disney's Dubious Path to 9/11

Wow, a "moon bat" and "teh dummer" in the space of two posts. Anyone care to make it a trifecta?

Unfortunately, Alex, those who watch this film will now be able to say to their friends, "That a-hole Clinton called off an attack on Bin Laden when the marines were right outside his front door!" I know without a shred of doubt that I'll be having this conversation in the near future. Probably with people in my own family. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, they saw it on teevee. Does it matter that the Clinton administration was roundly ignored by the Bush White House on this topic? No. Because in a movie on tv it said something different.

I'm sure the last 50 years of history have had something to do with everything that followed. Your point is that it doesn't matter. My point is that it does. We have a responsibility to teach the truth to schoolchildren. What happened to the lessons learned back in 5th grade when we watched the Watergate hearings on tvs rolled into classrooms from the AV department?

Have we given up on all critical thinking because it "doesn't change anything"? I don't think so. It's just that the really loud percentage of Americans who have done so, make it seem like the rest of us have.
