Oliver Stone missed the boat by not doing the research needed to use facts in his movie. I watched "W" then went home and watched Terence McKenna's CBC documentary called "The Bush Years". McKenna's documentary left Stone's "W" looking like the research hadn't been done. "W" appeared light and disappointing. I'm not sure where one can view "The Bush Years" but if you are a political junkie or just interested in learning about how an administration can impact negatively or positively (depending on your leanings) on a country check this one out. There is little doubt that America stands pretty much on it's own without a lot of support from other countries because of this administrations decisions. McKenna's documentary is a much fuller look at George W Bush and what he has done for the USA.
