Harrison Ford has announced that he wishes to play the role of the general in charge of the assault and seige of Fallujah, in an upcoming movie to be entitled No True Glory. This action resulted in the destruction of a whole city and the loss of many thousand innocent lives, and caused over 300,000 people to become homeless, while the insurgent Iraqis mostly slipped away, to attack again from elsewhere. We do not trust Hollywood to show the abuses of the US forces, who broke Geneva Conventions and denied civilians hospitals, water, food, opening fire on ambulances and denying the press coverage. We do not believe the military to have been innocent pawns of flawed government, and do not wish Mr Ford to play General Mattis, and we vote against the making of this film. We ask the studios to examine history before they rewrite it. We ask Mr Ford to read up on the truth. "And the truth shall set us free."

- American news media has failed to report the truth about Iraq. Hollywood is certain to glorify the result of lies perpetrated by the current administration. The real cost and price of oil have not been exposed. Please don't add to the brainwashing of the American public.

- Movie producers have been used far too long as puppets of the U.S. military for their propaganda. This is one film that can never be glamorized nor can it make us believe that this war was justified. To make money by promoting the death of thousand of Iraquis and young soldiers is despicable .Please do not make this film.

- I encourage you to DISSUADE Mr. Ford from joining this project. Indeed, I would be horrified if such a drama made it to the big screen - I am afraid that an accurate portrayal of the "legitimate" resistance elements that took up arms in protest of the wholesale destruction of their neighborhoods, would not be part of the plot line, i.e. normal people, not "foreign insurgents," who could no longer sit by and watch their children or brothers, sisters, moms die simply hiding behind closed doors trying to avoid the military assault on Fallujah...

- Fallujah had no Twin Towers to fall but many more died there than on 9/11 It was Iraq's 9/11 and we know it was done on purpose for oil. Today and every day the same is happening all over Iraq until Iraq is destroyed . Village by village, Town by town City by city. All for the theft of Iraq's oil. In Iraq at least 2 million have died from the US led wars and sanctions. Make a film about that. Also make a film anout the Depleted Uranium { Iraq's Agent Orange} dropped all over Iraq by the US and the Napalm and the cluster bombs and and and .

- Being a combat veteran myself, I know the true horrors of war and what happens that is never revelaed to the public by our military or our goverment. I would think that making a movie like this right now is not a good idea, but if you should decide to press on anyway, then at least get the TRUE facts and make it real. Please don't gloss over what was done there.

- Please do not make this movie if you are not going to show wht REALLY happened to all of the innocent civilians in Fallujah at the hands of our military, as they broke the Geneva Conventions and used illegal weapons. If you can't do this right, then please do not do it at all. All concerned deserve the truth to come out so that this kind of horror never happens again.

- Is Hollywood now the location of hypocricy is our greatest commodity? Tell the truth, stop the Bu$h*t! Would it be a different perspective if the victims were Jews, or Christians. There was an injustice at Fallujah to say the least. Stop the Bu$h*t tell the truth. Mr. Ford, do not become a puppet in a propaganda venture.

- Don't let Mr Ford do this. It was a Crime against Humanity on the part of America. Banned weapons were used, thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians were killed. Don't let him associate himself with this obvious piece of propaganda. Once he's in this film you will undue all the respect he's earned over the years_like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Don't turn Mr Ford into a villian. ie today whenever I see Mr Heston, the only thing I see is dead babies. I own both Star Wars and Indiana Trilogies, please don't make it impossible for me to view them again. This film is way to political for anyone to touch.

- I have admired Harrison Ford's movies for ever. I hope that he will give careful thougt to whether he wants to be a propaganda pawn of the American government. The invasion of Iraq was illegal and immoral but what happened after the invasion was horrific. The attacks on Fallaujah which began by shutting down the hospitals, sometimes with a surgery underway and the total destruction of the city well reported by some non embedded reporters are not the kinds of stories that I think of Harrison telling. Please ask him to not do this.

- The siege of Fallujah was/is part of the ongoing conflict in Iraq. It would be impossible at this time to make a fictional film that would be accurate in its facts and sympathetic to all the residents of Fallujah and members of the US military caught up in the conflict. How would it be better than propoganda? What's the likelihood that the US authorities would not censor any unfavorable portrayal of our soldiers?.

- This film should not be made unless it shows the truth of US barbarism and the complete destruction of a city and the mass graves of the innocent. This is just more propaganda for the Bush lies and distortions about this war, and Mr. Ford should have nothing to do with it.

- Mr. Ford, as an accomplished actor, it is beneath your dignity to make a propaganda film that will not show the terrible abuses of innocent Iraqi civilians by US forces. Please go the website: www.progressiveportal.org/store, where you can buy the truthful documentary film by Toshikuni Doi. Viewing it, you will learn some very disturbing truths.

- Very little information has gotten through to the Americn people about what went on in Fallujah. If we will finially be told about the atrocities we committed, then go on with it, but I find it hard to believe that this type of film will show the people dead from napalm burns, the ambulances being shot, people prevented from going to the hospital, whole families shot in their beds, all the refuges, people starving with no water, our soldiers driving tanks over dead people, a dead child in the street with a white flag clutched to his chest....:(

- HF... Please research the TRUTH about what has gone on in Fallujah. See the World Tribunal on Iraq web page and the Dahr Jamail web page. I think you will realize no truthful rendition can be made in light of the current political environment, and I hope you will agree that attrocities should not be dramatized (especially wrongly!) simply for the sake of box office dividends. Thank you for listening!

- Unless this film is completely accurate and shows the war from both sides, it should not be made. We don't need more propaganda to make ourselves feel good about what we have done. We have not done good. And what's more, no one should make money from this tragedy anyway. Frankly, I do not think Hollywood has any business trying to make a movie about Fallujah. Are you going to say that we were wrong in illegally invading a sovereign nation? If not, then this will not be an accurate portrayal. Find another story to put on the big screen.

- Your letting the Bush terrorist administration win. You're thinking just like them. I am against all forms of censorship. I encourage the producers to make this film. It will open the door for documentary and independent films that might expose the truth. Hollywood's a copycat industry... if this sells, they'll back just about anything. I'm also asking that people reconsider creating too much controversy. Mel Gibson knew what he was doing when he created his own tempest surrounding The Passion. It never would have sold tickets otherwise. I am signing only to request that Mr. Ford read and research carefully, which I'm sure he's already doing. And to reconsider if it doesn't feel right in his heart.

- First was the Gulf War of 1991 when the U.S. buried Iraqi soldiers alive in their trenches and then slaughtered other Iraqi soldiers as they were retreating. Then came the no-fly zones where only the U.S. could fly and bomb Iraq for 10 years and occasionally a Kurdish shepherd was chased and strafed just for the fun of it. Then the 10 years of sanctions that caused the deaths of 250 Iraqi children a day. "It was worth the price." Then came "Operation Iraqi Freedom." Bombings, destruction, and death. The library and the Iraqi television station were burned to the ground. Eye witnesses said incendiary divices were attached to the buildings. Ancient Korans were burned to ashes. No televion archives survived. Then there was the looting of the museum. Iraqis asked U.S. soldiers to stop the looters, but they protected the oil ministries. Fallujah, the city of mosques, nearly destroyed, bombed, napalmed, bulldozed, some think nuclear weapons were used. This is GENOCIDE. Entertainment?

- Having been a fan of Mr.Ford's since the first release of 'Star Wars' , I am absolutely appalled that he would consider attaching his name to such a dark chapter in American history. I sincerely hope he is not truely considering this. If he does, I will be so disappointed, as I always thought him better than that. Surely he will look behind the headlines of the corporate media and investigate the many war crimes commited by US forces during the attack on Fallujah before he proceeds. Every American owes that much at the very LEAST to the thousands of innocent men, women and children who lost their lives there. Wholesale slaughter is not just horrific foreign policy, it is disturbingly inappropriate as 'heroic cinema'. Not only will I protest the film and any actor's participation with my wallet, but with my voice....speaking to friends, family, and on the internet at every possible opportunity. It is my hope that Mr.Ford will not tarnish his name and career with this apparent piece of revisionist propaganda.

- The massacre of Fallujah was a war crime, they bombed hospitals and shot medical personnel! Please get educated and stop any thought of spreading more lies. It is time for TRUTH. Please see www.dahrjamailiraq.com and http://www.progressiveportal.org/store/ for a well documented, powerful film of what really occurred in Fallujah during the April, 2004 siege. Know that we will boycott any film that glorifies the US war crimes in Fallujah. Seel also www.armedconflictlaw.org for the case filed against the US for war crimes by Karen Parker JD of the Association for Humanitarian Lawyers.

- The war was fought under false pretenses; illegally declared; has nothing to do with patriotism in the true sense of the word; and Saddam Hussein was not and is not worth the life of one American. The war is about sending our troops to be cannon fodder to look after the interests of the ruling elite, and has nothing to do with "democracy." It is just a part of the campaign to use "terrorism" as the vehicle to bring in the NWO. I write as a veteran.

- Go here for one of the many essays that covers the major details in this matter: Fallujah : America`s Guernica by Hector Carreon http://www.talkaboutculture.com/group/soc.culture.jordan/messages/34655.html The crime against humanity and nature in general that has been perpetrated by the Bush Genocidal Cartel and the American Military that should have refused to act on these treasonous orders will go down in history as one of the greatest atrocities ever committed. The napalm, the chemical weapons, the outright murder of innocent men women and children, the shooting of the aforementioned trying to escape by crossing a river and being slaughtered by American snipers. The weeks of earth moving equipment scraping up the dirt containing the proof of these war crimes. Hosing off of buildings, collecting dead birds and other animals. This is an unbelievable and unbearable shame. Some Dare Call It Treason-Wake Up America! http://www.alternativesmagazine.com/28/bowman.html

- The Asian Tsunami was sudden destruction caused by a magnitude 9.3 earthquake. Now PM Sharon promises 'Peace with security'. President Chirac met with Sharon and promised 'Peace and security'. President Bush spoke on Israeli TV that the expulsion of Jews would make Israel 'secure and Peaceful'. 1st Thessalonians 5:2-3 warns: "For you yourselves know perfectly well that like a thief in the night, so the day of the Lord comes. When they say, Peace and security, then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as birth pangs to a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape." Now the Israeli Army has distributed the 48 hour forceful eviction notice for the ethnic cleansing of Jews on August 17th. On August 16th a 7.2 magnitude quake off Japan's coast rattled buildings in Tokyo and caused a tsunami warning. More 'sudden destruction' is coming ... God created the Universe and brought life into existence. God wrote the Laws of Physics. God is not subject to the Laws of Physics, they are subject to God.

- I was in Baghdad with the Iraqi civilians when US bombed the city. I saw our country targetting residents with napalm type weapons and cluster bombs then and still denying it today. Clearly, both attacks on Fallujah were even more brutal. Please don't let the Pentagon/Hollywood make patriotic propaganda from these war crimes. Feel free to contact me for photos and eye-witnessed evidence.

- Actually, wouls like to see film made, but with the courage/conviction to make it real to life, containing the unvarnished horrors of war, of the seige, of the decision making (crimminal?) and actions of the "Coalition" Forces and of the Insurrgents. If the film is to be a red-white-and-blue washing of the Iraqi war, please, please don't make it and thereby save sending potentially thousands of youngsters to their demise (depleted uranium as the least of the evils) with their heads full of delusions put their in part by you Mr. Ford if you so choose.

- The International Criminal Court may yet try for war crimes and crimes against humanity those persons involved in ordering and directing the assault on Fallujah and its civilian population of 300,000. The fundamental legal principles in this case are no different than those relating to Milosevich's responsibility in Kosovo and other areas of the former Yugoslavia. I have been a lifetime fan of Harrison Ford, but I am deadset against his involvement in any propaganda effort to cover up the true facts of what the United States did in Fallujah and what this coun btry continues to do daily in Iraq as a whole. This is an imperial war of aggression and a neocolonial occupation of a country that has done no injury to the United States or its people. We are occupying that country for the purpose of establishing permanent military bases to supplant the bases in Saudi Arabia, to furter bolster Israel against Arab opposition, and to seize control of Iraqi OIL for exploitation by U.S. and British corporations.

- I am disturbed to learn about this movie , which will obviously not be telling things from an Iraqi point of view. Are you going to glorify this horrific obscenity we perpetrated on those poor people? If this film were to show the brutality and immorality, injustice that the Americans have perpetrated on the people of Iraq, not to mention the torture , rape, and humiliation of its males and females. If this were a film to show just what "our" boys have been doing over there..."obeying orders"...and much more..without consequences. ..then i would be agreeable to it. To humiliate and undermine this peoples misery, is yet another lie and insult!!! Is money all that counts to you? What happened to truth and justice? What about having the guts to show what really happened? Again you insult the Iraq people, and continue to brainwash the masses over here! Don't you understand the spiritual ramifications of this kind of act?

- We are not a society that is prepared to take care of the psychologically wounded soldiers who are and will be coming home from Iraq. They have seen things which our society does not want to hear of talk about. The glorification of war will do nothing for them, it will only attract others to come take their place. I would like to suggest that you read "On Killing" the book by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman before you make a movie that Hollywood can only produce if it covers up the damage that is being done to our young men.
