Why We Fight / USA / 2005

When Why We Fight shifts to the Iraq war, it loses some footing, if only because the choir it preaches to is bigger than ever, and already knows all the songs. But for the most part, this one stands out from usual flood of left-wing documentaries because it asserts that there is nothing particularly new or surprising about our current war: the United States has been getting into conflicts it has no business getting into for over fifty years. Holding up Eisenhower’s farewell warning of the nation’s growing “military-industrial complex” as the last great yelp of peaceful rationality, Why We Fight answers its titular question with what amounts to a one-word answer: Money.
