Gabe,
Fahrenheit 9/11 has been thoroughly discredited, and a lot of those charges have been discussed elsewhere. I will respond to your statement concerning "U.S. American blacks".
I presume you're talking about the alleged disenfranchisement of African Americans in 2000? Those allegations have been tossed around for over four years now. Whenever charges of such magnitude surface a special commission (usually independent) is established in order to investigate the merit of such claims. No one has found any evidence of voter suppression. The pre-eminent body that deals with such grievances is an organisation called the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. It was, until very recently, headed by a woman named Mary Frances Berry who is virulently anti-Bush. She'd go to any length to deny Republicans their rightful say in matters concerning civil rights, even if it meant not inviting them to committee meetings. She spared no effort in trying to prove that the Bush 2000 campaign had indeed "robbed" (you used the correct buzzword) African Americans of their votes. In the end she found no evidence of wrongdoing or voter suppression.
So when you say "It was a real eye opener, took us back to when Al Gore was robbed of the Presidency", I must borrow an oft-repeated line from Santosh Helekar and say "the above statement is false".
Next stop Tehran, unless Blair and the other European leaders can do something.
Weren't they saying this about Syria in April-May 2002?
