Dont know if anyone has posted this before but I been watching some of this today. It is an incredibly powerful documentary. I highly recomend it. There is a part in the film in the third section I think where someone is talking about how the war in Iraq was going wrong and out of control. It was pointed out that the war was going how it was always intended to go. You can tear a country apart by blowing people up with bombs and shooting citizens but that is inefficient. It is far better from the aggressors point of view to create sectarian division and watch Iraq tear itself apart. The point was made so well and it struck home with me so hard because it was so familiar, because Ive witnessed it first hand as have all of us on this island. It made me realise that every bigotted thought and act of sectarianism here is a victory for the british government as well as a self defeating act of war against ourselves.
