September 11

I know that this is a late post; however, I think that a brief reaction to the clip that we watched is appropriate. I found what was said very interesting and I would have easily been able to watch the whole video. After our class discussion it became more clear that one really has to look for credible sources and note the angle of vision and, in this case, how one sided the film really is. I think that this film helped to remind me why we are still in Iraq and why we reacted to September 11th the way that we did. It's interesting to be reminded that even today that we are still working to try and find evidence as to what happened, why it happened, and who exactly did this. Our discussion led to some good "do's" and "don'ts" that I think will be really helpful in our writing, such as building credibility because, like we said, there was nothing in this film to really make us 100% positive that we could believe what they were saying- especially when they never really give the other side a chance to present their argument. All in all I really enjoyed that film and that class discussion that we had the other day.
