Movie: No End in Sight

From Netflix: No End in Sight, a documentary that deals primarily with the absolutely horrible decisions made after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Lots of interviews, lots of footage. Excellent though upsetting because the mistakes seem so elementary in retrospect. Three come to mind: the lack of civic control with the arrival of the victors (the looting of everything in sight by the Iraqi citizenry); the order to throw out the Bathists thus pretty much throwing out all the managers that ran the country; and the order to disband the military and thus throwing half a million armed men into the unemployed line. And that all after the stupid decision to go to war in the first place. Plenty of doofus awards to pass around. Super documentary; gave it a five.

Diane and I did make the decision to watch this while we sat down to dinner although each of us were aware that we might have trouble with digestion what with the nature of what we were about to see, the two of us being so absolutely opposed to the war from the get go.
