Summary

In 2000 President Bush won the elections but a lot of people were angry about it because it was unfair that he won. People started to demonstrate against President Bush but the government didn’t do anything about it. Bush became a bad president for America, the most of his time he was on vacation. He even got a report with in this plans for an attack, but did nothing to make it stop.

But on 11th of September something terrible happens, 2 airliners crash into the World Trade Centers in New York City. A third plane crashes in to the pentagon. Almost 3,000 people died. When the first plane hits the tower, Bush is visiting a school. When he hears about the disaster he doesn’t do anything. He just sits there and waits, for like 11 minutes.

It seems that the family Bush is connected with the Bin Ladens. After the attack nobody can fly except the Bin Ladens, but maybe Osama Bin Laden is the offender of the attack. A couple of weeks latter Bush says that he wants to attack Iraq. Many people were sent to Iraq to fight. Innocent people and American soldiers died. And Bush tells the people in Amerika that it’s the right thing to do.

About President Bush
George W. Bush was born on July 6, 1946 in New Haven. He grew up in the state Texas together with his 3 brothers Jeb, Neil and Marvin and his 2 sisters Dorothy and Robin.

From 1964 until 1968 Bush studied History at Yale University. After he graduated he went to Harvard to study business administration. This didn’t go so well because he had some problems with drugs, alcohol and women; he stopped and that same year he joined the army. A few years later in 1977 he met Laura at a political congress. That same year they got married. In 1981 they got a twin named Barberra and Jenna.

In 1985 his father, a politician, gave him a job. His father decides to join the president’s elections of 1988. He won and became the 41st president of the United States. A few years later George Bush goes also into politics. He won the election of the governor of Texas. In 2000 he was elected for president of the United States. He won the election and became President. But with a small difference against his opponent Albert Arnold Gore. Al Gore was more popular by the people. But Bush still won the elections. In 2004 he became president again for 4 years. This year in November there will be chosen a new President he can’t be chosen again.

I thought that this was the most interesting person in the documentary because he is the most important person in the documentary. The documentary shows how George Bush was a bad president for America.

Verschillen tussen de Nederlandse en Amerikaanse regering.
Ik heb het in het Nederlands neergezet omdat ik dit te moeilijk vind om te vertalen.
Er is een Huis van Afgevaardigden dat is te vergelijken met de tweede kamer. Verder is er de Senaat die is vergelijkbaar met de eerste kamer. Het Huis van Afgevaardigden bestaat uit 453 leden en de Senaat uit 120 leden. Samen keuren ze de weten goed. De vice president van Amerika is de voorzitter van de Senaat. Verder is er een president die om de vier jaar weer opnieuw word gekozen.

Verschillen
- De senaat heeft in Amerika veel meer invloed dan dat de eerste kamer in Nederland heeft.
- Nederland is een koninkrijk en Amerika is een republiek.
- In Amerika wordt er om de 4 jaar een nieuwe president gekozen, in Nederland is het een koning of koningin die opgevolgd word door een familielid.

My Opinion about the documentary
I think the documentary was very interesting. I never knew that there was so much more around the attacks on 9/11. I also thought that the documentary was very sad because so many innocent people were killed. It was a very good documentary because it has many true facts. The documentary was also funny because the jokes that were made where funny. You can learn very much from this movie, like how the American government works.
