3. The Americans refuse to even speak with Iraqis as their stormtroopers raid and kill and torture their family members.
I'm of the mind that all of this was intentional, and that the PLAN A was never to win the peace in Iraq. Wars are so difficult to launch, they wanted Iraq to descend into region-wide chaos engulfing Syria (done) and Iran (still very much on the agenda).General Wesley Clark divulged the Bush Junta's plans, which were to attack "seven nations in five years," barely a week after they allowed the 9/11 attacks to succeed. That's another story, and America has yet to recover a modicum of self-respect and demand justice.
What No End in Sight captured was a small part of this large imperial agenda for a "new American Century" of aggression and the seizing of vital resources, particularly oil and gas. While the film talks about Paul Bremer's presumed incompetence, it fails to mention his 100 Orders slicing up Iraq's economy like Darth Vader seizing a new star system. Of course, pillaging other countries is glaringly illegal, but we've already established the blinders worn by the filmmakers.
These types of key omissions are why I don't ever trust US documentarians when it comes to foreign policy. They revert to the juvenile "mistakes were made" mindset. They're not "mistakes" when you do them on purpose: those are crimes, capital crimes punishable by death. They violate every Treaty the country has signed--and which the US helped create in the first place--including the Geneva Conventions and the UN Charter.
The most evil criminals wear suits and they get away with it. One of the reasons they get away with it is because of biased journalism that spins away their crimes so that the public is dissuaded from thinking of US rulers as criminals on par with the worst war criminals one can name. In the end it's an assault on reality as well as morality.
