The controversial Oscar-nominated docu-drama “No End in Sight” by film director Charles Ferguson on the Iraq War will be posted in its entirety on YouTube starting Monday and running through Nov 5. You can view it for free. The film is a sharp critique of the war and the Bush handling of the war. Ferguson is upset that the Iraq War has faded as an issue in the current election campaigns. He had to adjust his contract with the movie’s original distributors costing him some decent money. If you haven’t seen it, take a look for it tomorrow. The trailer can be found here. If anyone has seen it, and has opinions on this film, let me know (via the comments here).
Also, I hope to respond in a couple of days, to the posts by Anthony Smith on Emergent Village’s Blog and Brian McLaren on Sojourners’ blog concerning “Not-Voting” and the questions they raise regarding my post on “Not Voting” from earlier this summer.
Let’s pray for the good people of New Orleans and their struggles to survive the storms that potentially lie ahead.

David,
Wow bro.. Thanks for this very thoughtful and challenging reflection. As one who has deep affinity with a Yoderian/Anabaptistic/post liberal reading of the church’s complicity with Constantinianism I concur with most if not all of what you say here. I want to post something on my blog that would serve as both a affirmation and response to your thoughts here. Thank you for taking the time to really think through this matter. Most don’t, unfortunately.
I will take a look at this. There clearly was many mistakes made. That being said I have seen the church in Iraq grow.
I have a friends who leads a large church and they are seeing more added to there number every day. This is an exciting time. With violence coming to an end and the Iraqi people taking control, this could be a golden age for spreading the gospel.
