... for several reasons, but for the words of a Swedish Reporter who had some of his footage used in F911. This alone made the rental worthwhile. This reporter speaks the truth and has the footage to back it up. He makes comments that hit right to the heart of the matter and comes across as impartial and honest in what he says. He also speaks of the media and the abysmal job they are doing, basically being afraid to speak.
As well, another film maker, who also had footage used in F911, has a short that shows what Iraqi life was like prior to the occupation. While some here have argued that Moore tried to show an Iraq that did not exist, and that it was all a farbication on his part, the short does show the whole context and shows both sides. Its really depressing to think of what has happened to this country.
You may hate Moore for his sensationalizing of the facts, but the stock footage that is included with F911 hammers to pieces alot of the arguments that people have tried to use to knock the film. If you rent it, watch the extra features. They are worth the time.
