War Made Easy

This weekend we watched War Made Easy, a documentary that brings Norman Solomon's book to the silver screen. It looks at the partnership between presidents and the media in preparing the nation for war. Intriguing.

Some reviewers find the film boring, but I really appreciated it. The significant use of archival footage was a plus. And it goes well with the other films we've seen lately on militarism.

Next time we start building toward war, watch this and see how much is repeated.
