don't fear the movie

How is the US of 2007 similar to Britain? Both are lead by leaders who imagined that a war in Iraq would turn out to be a good thing.

How are we different from Britain? Britain has an environment minister who has directed ALL schools to show Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to their students. We have school districts afraid to show the movie for fear of lawsuits or for fear that corporate sponsors (how did we ever get to the point where public schools had to sell themselves to companies for a few bucks?) would cut off funding.
