A JOURNEY TO IRAQ is a unique documentary, showing a side of the War on Terror that is rarely seen in mainstream media. This documentary gets up close and personal with Iraqi refugees who fled the country due to religious persecution, the faithful Christians who answered God's call to help spread Christianity to the Arab and Kurdish people, and one Missionary struggling to establish what could be the most important print shop in the Middle East.
Establishing the first Christian printing press in the Kurdish territory of Northern Iraq is more than difficult - it's almost unthinkable. But Missionary Tim Comer discovers that in the word's newest Republic, the power of Islam leaves little room for Christian Missions, and the only way to get things done is God's way.
Under the regime of Saddam Hussein, Christianity was mildly tolerated at best, and certainly was not encouraged. With the American and allied invasion came the prayers of Christians worldwide, as well as the power to establish political, personal and religious freedoms for the Iraqi people. For the first time in their lives, countless Iraqis discovered acceptable alternatives to Islam.

A soldier's perspective.
As an American soldier currently serving overseas, I am so glad to finally have my copy of FarenHYPE 9/11. I've now watched both Moore's video and this response to it. I came to the conclusion that Michael Moore is a big dumb animal! He seems to hate America. This video clearly shows how deceitful he really is. The most moving part was watching the wounded soldier discuss how upset he was that Moore exploited his injury to make Bush look bad. Everyone should see this.
If you hate this movie, you're being intentionally vapid
To form an intelligent, balanced opinion, you have to view all points of view on a given subject. Given the biased, manipulated manner in which Michael "Bush eats babies!" Moore presents his case, the only way to get an alternate opinion is to view a movie such as this, which not only presents a counterpoint to Moore's arguement, but also talks to the very same people that Moore claims to have interviewed for his movie. The best part, for me, is that FahrenHYPE 9/11 doesn't even go in to the manipulative movie-making tactics that Moore employes to fool the audience, it simply lays out the statements given by the people in Moore's movie and let's the viewer decide.
And for the record, I'm not a Republican.
Unconvincing propaganda
What to say about this film but that the intentions were clear, unambiguous, and that's the problem. At least Michael Moore brings some evidence to his arguments. Here Fahrenhype brings opinions supported by... other opinions... It is disorganized propaganda at best, unconvincing because they do not support their arguments with facts. Pressed about the lack of WMD in Iraq, former Mayor Ed Koch claims that he would have supported the war even if he had known that there was no WMD, but why is not clear. Because Sadam Hussein was a bad boy? In which case we should be waging war in 30 countries just now! The most compelling arguments in this movie are from individuals who were portrayed in a light contrary to their wishes in Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Granted. But for the rest, even the Pet Goat episode, it does remain unconvincing. Talking heads do not make up for missing facts (or missing WMDs).
