Two things about this are fascinating.

The first is that Moore is an avowed opponent of making money at any cost. If teaming up with Hizbullah to make a few extra bucks isn't selling out your principles, I don't know what is. Hypocracy on this kind of a scale is disturbing.

Unless it's not hypocracy. Moore says that this is an anti-Bush film. However, if he only wanted to use the film to bring down Bush, he's merely have it shown in America, where American voters are. Showing it in the Middle East, where it will literally become required viewing in some circles, is pouring gas onto burning houses. Even the staunchest anti Bush / pro American person could see that.

However, if Moore has in fact come to hate America as deeply as he hates Bush, then it all makes perfect sense. The political discourse in the Arab world is just starting to rise out of the primordial soup, and here comes Moore with a 'documentary' that basically states that America, and its government, are nothing special, and in fact just as evil and corrupt as any Middle Eastern tyranny.

This movie has fooled free men in America, it no doubt will sway everyone it touches in Syria. That is a disservice to people who are truly oppressed. And the man who's profiting off their misery? You guessed it.

Michael Moore has been selling antiAmericanism abroad for years. His last tv show was financed in England (and later rerun in America). His last 2 movies have been funded by Canada. His book and video covers have red-white-and-blue stars-and-stripes on the foreign editions.

Michael Moore is an Anti-American. His US fans are too stupid to realize this (the rest of the world loves to see him trashing this nation).
