An Exercise in Confirmation Bias
Reminiscent of the simplistic analysis pervasive in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Mr. Friedman is not reporting, but rather seeking to support his obvious preconceived hypothesis. Namely, the theory that the attack was a function of Arabic feelings of inferiority and jealousy of American institutions. Two stars for the revealing look into the 2003 zeitgeist -- the root of arrogance that lead us into our failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Super interesting
This video teaches very well through interviews how foreign countries perceive the US. The reporter in the film did an excellent job in obtaining feedback from individuals with distinct cultures.
I'm not convinced.
Film brings out many motives of the alleged 9/11 plotters, but really falls short as to providing proof they had the means to complete attacks on 9/11. Keep searching Mr. Friedman. I'm not convinced. Includes good interviews with the Arab/Muslim peoples and their different points of view about America and 9/11.
