‘Where to Invade Next’ exposes liberal delusions
By Michael Medved
“Where to Invade Next” is the title of the latest movie by leftist documentarian Michael Moore, and it powerfully exposes an underlying flaw in the progressive world view.

In the film, Moore travels the globe to praise countries like Slovenia, Finland, Tunisia and Portugal, which supposedly handle drug addiction, education, women’s rights, school lunches, industrial working conditions, criminal rehabilitation and other vexing challenges far better than the benighted, backward USA.
One of many problems with this preachy, pokey production is that it never confronts a fundamental question: If things are so terrible in America, why do millions seek to move here — including residents of the “model societies” Moore so lovingly describes?
“Where to Invade Next” highlights a fundamental difference between left and right in this country: Liberals want America to be more like the rest of the world, but most of us hope that the future will enable the rest of the world to become more like America.
