I mean a normal person in the US who works hard and has kids, so not much time to really dig into politics would never hear that Bush was friends with the Saudies (and that the terrorists from 9/11 did not even have to show up to get a passport). If this fact is important or not, that is up to the people to decide for themselves, but at least they know about it after Moore's movie.Well, see that's the problem. After seeing the Moore film, many people will be duped into thinking only Bush was friends with the Saudi's. But, the Saudi's are every politicians friend in the US, and why not, they've got a huge bankroll and have their oil spiggots controlling the worlds economy. Better to be friends, than not. The US has worked hard for 30 years to forge a despotic deal with the devil. Fiscally sound, but morally bankrupt. It's no secret really. We defend them and keep the house of Saud in power, and they try to keep oil prices in line. There is nothing that happened during this last Bush administration that did not also happen under Clinton, and that is the undistorted truth.
