John Kerry Through the Republican Lens

Since Frenchmen and -women are always telling me I should go see Fahrenheit 911, I will suggest that they go check out this short film on John Kerry. Although the Republican Party's film is obviously partisan (although hardly as much as Michael Moore's is), it will not only teach them how their hero hardly displays only heroic qualities, but, more generally and more importantly (and I say this in a nonpartisan way), how they should not expect that once the campaign rhetoric is over, a Kerry presidency will automatically heed the voice of the "peace camp" and the United Nations.

As an aside, and since all the clips come from TV interviews, I would suggest that the French — those who claim that in America, the press (and the people) are always blindly following whoever is in the White House — should check out how American journalists challenge politicians (and yes, I do mean all politicians)…

And while we are on the subject of films, here is the documentary that Disney chose to distribute instead of Fahrenheit 911. (Don't expect to see it in French theaters, though.)
