This should therefore apply to events such as the rock concert performed a few days after 9/11, in which patriotic emotion-prompting music was featured.

Did you see me writing anywhere that I approve of those events?

There is an opening orchestra piece played only while the title is shown: no different than the evening news

Evening news is your standard for good debate of political topics?

I'm fairly constistent in telling people on this forum that they should stop watch mainstream TV to stop being programmed.

I'm not treating you any different than I'm treating the evening news.

I'm not in favor of watching mainstream news. For me the only question is the extend to which I want to be involved in making mainstream news.
I however don't go there because I like the style of mainstream news but because it's a way to reach a significant audience.

I don't have any problem with people who oppose the Iran war going on the evening news to tell their story. You have to make some sacrifices to tell your message to a large audience.
If you however discuss on my forum, please bring text based arguments.

You have criticized a universal artistic detail while ignoring 99% of the content. In your pragmatic scrutiny, you obviously did not appreciate the tongue-in-cheek satire on the official story.

I didn't watch the whole video and therefore didn't see most of the content.

This video presents the "official story" in its true ridiculous light in the linear fashion in which it has been foisted off to the public.

Showing that the official story is ridiculous doesn't bring you that far.

You could convince a significant part of the population to become cynic. Maybe you even get the current regime to collapse.

The power will fall to some charasmatic leader that rises up.

To quote a recent article in FPIF: "There are many examples where those who make the revolutions do not come to power (whether France in 1789, Russia 1917, Eastern Europe 1989 or now the Arab World 2011). It appears to be more of a rule than an exception."

You actually need to live to higher standards to build an alternative. Replacing evening news with youtube videos is no progress.

The topic is "War With Iran", yet here we have quibbling over itty-bitty details that serve only to delay any real discussion regarding the seriousness of the issue, the validity of facts presented...and the true roots of "the war on terror", which a war against Iran will surely be classified as.

A debate about who the actors in a conflict are is very relevant.
If you don't understand the actor most of your tactical political manuvers will probably fail.

In the case of the possible war against Iran it's important to understand that there are a bunch of different actors in the US. Some of them would like a war against Iran while other don't. Different actors might even want the war for different reasons.
