[lavplist] A "must see" film on Iraq

[Ray Schuster]

To Los Altos Voices for Peace Members and Friends,

We recently screened the film, "No End in Sight," at the home of an LAVP member.  The film, a documentary nominated for an Academy Award, was well received, and we have decided to recommend it to our full list. Here is an excerpt from an Amazon.com review of the film, which chronicles the serious missteps by the administration following the invasion of Iraq:


"A staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary No  End in Sight avoids the question of why the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, choosing instead to focus on the war's aftermath--and meticulously examine the chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessness and civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administration officials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the war itself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspenseful as any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefights and explosions more vivid than any special effects."


If you haven't had an opportunity to view the film, we encourage you to do so.  We'd be happy to loan our copy of the DVD version to any of you.  You might want to invite family and friends to join you to watch and discuss this significant, dramatic narration of the disastrous events in Iraq over the past five years.  Just send me an email and I'll arrange to get it in your hands.

Another option is NetFlix, and Amazon sells the DVD for about $19.  In any case, it is a must see, and hope you have the opportunity to do so.

Peace,
Ray Schuster
