Why We Fight (2005)
9/10
The name says it all
19 October 2006
Usually documentaries tend to make me grit my teeth and sit down ready to be overwhelmed with facts, preached at, and generally bored. This movie was a welcome relief in terms of those fears, and an eye-opener in terms of learning "Why we Fight".

I think my favourite line is the one by Eisenhower when he says that every dollar spent on weapons is thus not spent on starving children, constituting a crime against humanity.

This movie really lays out in a rational way exactly what the motivation for the continuous wars being waged by the US and the lobbyists that hold sway.

If you are curious as to who is pulling the strings, then this movie should answer a lot of questions.

It's easy to watch and overall an excellent movie.
