"The Power of Nightmares"
There's a fascinating BBC TV show that's on Google Video.

<http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Power+of+Nightmares&hl=en>

It's about the rise of the Neocons and the simultaneous rise of radical Islamics. It's a bit long -- a three parter with each part being an hour, but well worth the time.

1. Very interesting video. Reccomended.
Very well done, though some people have taken issue with some of the assertions in it (nothing too major.) I'll see if I can find a link.

Hell, reccomended for the soundtrack alone. It's a very well put together piece of work.

2. Excellent! Excellent video! I highly recommend it!
There are SO many lessons in that video...

One that stood our for me: Torture created the extremists who created Osama bin Laden.
