Written comments of Dialogues participants

"A brilliant and extraordinary work on public policy. DEADLY MISTAKES? tells about current history which most people have forgotten, or never knew. This is an essential work for young people."
Marcus Raskin, co-founder, Institue for Policy Studies

"The DVD's and the Viewer Guide should be in every school in the country."
Peter Davis, the director of the Academy Award winning Hearts and Minds

"The Viewer Guide is an excellent resource, which should be of great value to those who hope to explore beyond the surface and to find out more about critical issues in the real world, as they are perceived and interpreted from varied perspectives. A very impressive contribution."
Noam Chomsky

"Lucid and powerful,ÊDeadly Mistakes? draws on an extraordinary variety of sources. It is certainly one of the most concise and lively treatments of American foreign policy I have seen.Ó
Howard Zinn

"A very important, very valuable work. The films and book tell Americans things we all need to know, but few do. These dialogues with people who shaped policy or made history help lay the groundwork for the education of the next generation of Americans. They will be extremely useful for teachers in both high school and college who want to offer material to their students that is relevant to today's world. DEADLY MISTAKES? will be eye-opening for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of current events.Ó
Grace Paley

“The words and portraits of American senior policy makers and generals are alternately shocking, outrageous, heartbreaking, and enlightening. This unique video invites and challenges viewers to step into the action, to have their say, and to take part in determining America's future. If enough Americans see it and take part in these Democracy Dialogues, it will move the country toward sanity and peace.”
Mark Achbar, the director of The Corporation
