Fahrenheit 9/11 convinces nearly all who see it'and believe it'that George Bush was unfit to lead on 9/11 and beyond. Fahrenheit 9-12 convinces nearly all who read it that a review of the sources of virtually every frame and every claim in the book reveals that virtually everything in Fahrenheit 9/11 is arguably misleading or inaccurate. Fahrenheit 9-12 restores the faith of its readers in America, the political system, the decision to unseat Saddam Hussein in 2003, and the validity of the process that elevated George Bush to the presidency in 2000, regardless of the readers? opinions of Bush. Fahrenheit 9-12 differs from most other critiques of Fahrenheit 9/11 in that it has 1) an Index, 2) an alphabetical list of references, 3) at least one ?virtual? illustration unique to each of the main topics, triggering the reader's imagination to envision an image based on a descriptive, clever, and/or humorous caption, and 4) it engages in many plays on words, to entertain as it informs, without being obsessive, excessive, digressive, or just plain boring. The rebuttal to the implications of Bush's ?7 minutes? after the 9/11 crashes'the movie's most powerful image'is particularly devastating.
