1. From Michael Moore
Of course, not a single member of Congress wanted to sacrifice their child for the war in Iraq. And who could blame them? Who would want to give up their child? Would you? Would he <George W. Bush>?

I've always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools, and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up, to defend that very system. They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it's absolutely necessary.

Will they ever trust us again?


(From Fahrenheit 9/11)

2. I don't know how anyone can not be moved by that statement.
It's perhaps his strongest statement in that movie, in any of his movies, in fact.
