This morning, the radio news program Democracy Now was discussing a new documentary that sounds therapeutic and incredibly interesting since it analyzes how our leaders “spin” us into thinking that war is necessary. The spin has been perpetuated over the decades by both Republicans and Democrats.

“War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death” is a $30 DVD that its producers want people to view in neighborhood groups so that they can discuss its themes afterwards.

The film is based on a book with the same title by Norman Solomon.
