Mr. Jarecki undercuts his own case -- not just undercuts but carpet-bombs it -- by using the same propaganda techniques he professes to abhor.
Mr. Jarecki forcefully, if not with wholesale persuasiveness, argues that our business is specifically war.

The movie tells us nothing we haven't heard before.
The long line of recent muckraking documentaries that has preceded Why We Fight does nothing to diminish its force.
The result isn't quite a Michael Moore movie without the hubris, but it's reasonably close. It's thoughtful, and you have to take it seriously and with respect.
Picture sets the gold standard for political documentaries.
Jarecki is no glib ideologue thumbing his nose at power.
