All the President's Men centered on a vile and corrupt president who received his comeuppance. Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), on the other hand, focuses on an equally reprehensible leader who's managing to get away with everything. It's too depressing to once more go over the litany of offenses committed by the war criminal in charge and his band of cutthroats — better to pop open a cold one, give thanks for the Fourth of July and all it represents, and pray that America will one day come to its senses and reclaim its former glory.
