I was watching Fox News...and they said "You think that showing Michael Moores movie in Iraq would definatly make more of them hate Bush..." but the opposite was true...they had on some dude from over there and he was explaining one part...remember in the beginning of the movie...when it said like "pre-war" or whatever, and the kids were on the playground and what not...he said that the iraqis were angry about that...because thats not how it was AT ALL...

Unresolved Problems Segment
Fahrenheit 9/11 released in Arabic
Michael Moore's controversial film has been released to the Arab world, and is causing quite a stir. Tony Snow (filling in for Bill) speaks to syndicated columnist Dr. Mahmoun Fandy about this.

The guest, syndicated columnist Dr. Mahmoun Fandy, said Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 isn't going over so well in the Arab world. They don't appreciate his portrayal of prewar Iraq as "a Switzerland" of happy, carefree children flying kites and are offended that Moore didn't interview any Arabs but instead presents unflattering Arab stereotypes to suit his narrative needs.

Sadly...thats all I could find on the show...
