    I just saw a Body of War poster slapped up in the Times Square subway station... outside the stairs of the 1, 2, 3 where it leads to (or from) the 7. Not sure how long it'll stay there, it'll either be ripped down by the MTA or a fan will take it... it made me smile to see it. I'm so glad this doco got distribution and has been released. EVERYONE needs to see it.

    where can we see it?

    An amazing film. Very powerful. To see the pain and suffering of one family and sadly realize that you can multply similar pain and suffering by a factor of thousands is almost too much to fathom.

    All parts of the film saddened me greatly.Many parts of the film made me angry; including a scene showing Pres. Bush make jokes while " looking for weapons of mass destruction".

    After seeing the film, I'm even more convinced that becoming a member of the Libertarian Party was the right move for me. Aside from representing my values best, the party opposes the war and printed a strategy for withdrawl as far back as 2005 and , as with Dr. Paul, the US Constitution guides its actions.

    see, I like the video, for the message and for the wonderful homage he is paying to the war veterens or the current army fighting for us there. for that I do respect him and think he did an awesome thing. and even in the opinion of the war, what I surely see is an "anti-war" stance, I can respect that everyone has opinions that I respect regardless if I agree or not as long as they have really thought about the decision and not just copped it from someone else (which I know he has formed on his own, because whenever I have seen anything about hin talking about the war, he is very well schooled in his research).

    but I am sorry, regardless of the opinion on Bush , and I understand and accept without any type of butting heads needed that most people here do not like him, I don't think that showing his pix on the video was necessary. why not show Osama?

    Osama had nothing to do with US troops in Iraq. A line in the song talk's about how he (Bush) lied to get us there. So he already is part of the song.

    This is the first time I have heard this song. It reminds me so much of John Lennon on stage singing Give Peace a Chance. Very cool!
