Michael Moore, director of “Fahrenheit 9/11,” delivered to Korean viewers a message in which he wished them to carry on a campaign against the dispatch of additional troops to Iraq. Michael Moore issued words of hope and pleading in his first official press conference since the release of the film at the Essex House Hotel in New York with about 200 local and foreign reporters present. According to Cinema People, the company in charge of the PR for the movie in Korea, Michael Moore was asked whether he wished to convey any messages through "Fahrenheit 9/11" to the Korean viewers, who are mired in controversy as a result of the nation's decision to send troops. Moore answered, “I hope Korean viewers start a social campaign against the dispatch of additional troops to Iraq.” Asked what he thought of the Korean government's decision to send troops to Korea, however, he simply answered, “I don’t know.”
He also said that Japanese people should act against Japanese PM Koizumi’s support for Bush’s dispatch policy. “Fahrenheit 9/11” won a grand prize at the Cannes international film festival in France this May with the anti-war and anti-Bush movie digging into the business relationship between the Bush family and Osama Bin Laden family. This movie has been at the top of the box-office records since its release in the U.S. on June 25 and also set a best box-office record in documentary films. It is going to be released in Korea on July 22.

Putting public pressure on South Koreans for a stop to Korean support troops being dispatched to the Coalition Mission in Iraq, (by appealing to an international audience), is a disruptive Act of Treason, not "free speech". The impact of this individual's suggestion, if carried out, would result in US forces being stretched more thinly. The result being a possible increase in American and Coalition field casulties.
Disgusting.
On top of that, I get that the guy is more dumb than a old bag of 3/4" bolts and washers.

Hang him!
Yeah, right pal.
You couldn't pull that off with double reinforced cable.
I am fed up with this big mouthed SOS and wish there were some thing that I could do to shut him up. He should be hung for treason ASAP.
Disillusioned after Bush's reelection, he'll probably attempt suicide.
Priceless!
It will not be soon enough for me.
I kow they are a disgrace. This is beyond freedom of speech IMO.
Moore should be investigated along with his financial contributions.
I know big brother is scary and all that, but this guy has crossed the line.
The more he opens his trap, the more he proves it too. Its his self-hatred directed outwards. "Stupid White Men" is probably the closest he has ever come to self-examination in his life.
Right now, he's just the mug-ugly playground bully with a soapbox and microphone. I'm just watching him go higher and higher with a hope that his cult-followers neglect to clear the deck when he starts falling!
At every opportunity, both Edwards and Kerry should be asked to comment on all these treasonous actions. IMHO MM will make it more likely that Bush will win in a landslide.
Maybe some S Korean commandos can pay a personal visit and discuss how some of Moore's buddies beheaded one of their people.
He can get by with his treason here in America because it is the basis of the Rat Party. However, other countries and cultures will have zero tolerance for his pro Islamo thinking/behaviors.
