Why We Fight--documentary made in 2005. [View all]

A most excellent film, one that I recommend highly.

From the IMDb website:

Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
