"Fahrenheit 9/11" takes off in Japan
<<'Fahrenheit 9/11' opens in Japan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Monday 23rd August, 2004

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, opened this weekend in 160 cinemas in Japan where many stood in long lines to see the movie.

The Japan Times reported Sunday some of those who saw the film said they would likely see it again.

"After hearing everything about this film, good and bad, I'm glad it's finally here. I think this is a film that all Japanese need to see, because it shows just how much Bush has lied", said Reiji Taniguchi, a student at an Osaka-area university. It's a film I intend to see again.

Fahrenheit 9/11 has made more than $115 million in ticket sales since opening in the United States in June. Moore said the movie would be available on DVD in October.

The film is being used by Democrats Abroad Japan to sign up U.S. citizens in Japan who have not registered to vote in the November presidential election.>>

Put this together with the current disintigration of the occupation and it's puppet Iraqi government, and I think Japan will be dropping out of the "coalition of the willing" soon enough.

1. Coalition of the Willing?
You mean coalition of the "bought", paid for by the lives of American kids and US taxpayers to profit the globalists.

2. Naturally
:puke:

We just need to get our occupying army out of there. It's the only solution.

It took years for the movement against the Vietnam War to succeed in getting us out of there. Actually, Americans are turning against the war in Iraq faster than they turned against the war in Vietnam.

3. Surprised Bush didn't have us invade Japan to stop this!
Guess he was too busy with the Swift Boat frauds and helping make that great Olympic ad that piss off the whole World!
