War Is Sell focuses on the "sell job" that governments must do to convince the public that their nation has no other choice but to go war. This film, expertly crafted by Brian Standing explains the steps that a government must take to spread their war "value proposition". War Is Sell does a fantastic job of explaining the role of propaganda clearly. Branding, marketing and advertising a government's message is important, especially on the home front. Usually this involves scaring the people to a point that they feel that they must rally around a protector. Silencing detractors is also a must. This technique has worked time and time again.

No matter what side you may be on when it comes to the current war (Iraq), you have to admit - war is a polarizing issue. People feel strongly about placing their sons and daughters in harm's way. Selling people on going to war often involves propaganda, or as some would frame it, misrepresenting the situation for one side's benefit. Media insiders, public relations executives and media analysts all give their opinions in War Is Sell. Footage of the gulf war, the Iraq War and WWII all come into play. Deftly crafted and expertly thought out, War Is Sell is an excellent documentary.

I dont believe in anything they publish, the world follow quantum mechanics, every reported news has a probability to be true ...

When I read WAR IS SELL. Immediately I thought of the guy who said WAR IS HELL.

Does anybody know who was the guy who made that quote famous????????Anybody? NO, do not do a Google search.

Let me introduce to you the greatest American General in the young history of the United States and to this day the most hated man to have ever set foot south of the mason-dixon line (The line seperating the north from the south for you non-americans)

God I wish you had never read anything on quantum mechanics. You totally misinterpret it.

And, are you the ultimate relativist?

Do you realise that QM does not describe anything on a macro scale? Hence why a ball (for example) has one single defined path which it follows.

I know, i was stretching the concept ...

For example, how would we answer the question: who killed JFK ?

Of course we can not apply determinism to this situation, even though it had only one and clear cause ...
