-1. anti-market bias : people don't understand private profits benefit the public

2. anti-foreigner bias - underestimate benefits of interactions with foreigners (like you don't make your own hammer, you give the job to someone more efficient)

3. make work bias : think low unemployment is more importat than high productivity (the country is better off when more people are employed, irrespective of productivity)

4. pessimism bias - always think the worst about government

- Actually it's better to have higher unemployment rather that full employment and low productivity.

so ...

1. - Private Profits are good for the public
2. - Foreign Trade benefits both sides
3. - Focus on productivity not unemployment
4. - Be real not just pessimistic

_ "Since the late 1990s, more people have died in war-torn Congo than in any conflict since World War II. In addition to the dead, hundreds of thousands of woman and girls have been raped. Rape, explains a British colonel, is a weapon of war, part of a destabilization covering the theft of valuable minerals. Rape victims are traumatized, injured, abandoned by husbands, pregnant, and ravaged by disease. Lisa Jackson, herself a sexual-assault victim, travels into the bush to interview soldiers who rape seemingly routinely; she asks them why. In Bakuva, (east Congo), we meet women and children, a doctor, a policewoman, and a government minister. They comment. There is no end in sight"

Final Message : Peace Now Stop Look and Listen

- Iamnotalone.com
- He shows that we are all people who smile and enjoy music : soldiers, Iraqi soldiers ... of course he doesn't get to spend time with provocative killers

Hampered by time though professional journalists might have crafted more meaningful insight Hampered by Iraqui part being filmed only one year after the war.

One guy praised Marines and blamed trouble on soldiers being rude and trigger happy just shooting at all iraqis,

-sounds plausible but not balanced, but not totally anti- US government

- The film was disappoinnting
- we didn't learn much new
- professional journalists would have made a better film
- It was all about him
- Actually it was misleading
- the Iraq part was filmed one year after the end of the war
- he never spoke to any insurgents
- he only went to Bagdad
- He said he couldn't get into learning Arabic
- The Palestine part was also filmed before the Israelis pulled out of Gaza
- again he didn't talk to any bombers
- I have seen better films on the subject, but Franti is popular

We know that "habibi" -in Iraq means "best mate"
- we could see he made people smile - in fact they looked happier than we are .. without a war
