Interesting BBC film concerning the parallel development of modern Islamic radicalism and Neo-conservatism. Details the rise of the latter movement and its masquerade as traditional conservatism to garner support and acquire power. This film also discusses the development of the current Arab political ideology and shows how both movements originated from the same basic philosophy: masses are more malleable when they are living in a constant state of fear.

  • I think Curtis (the director) might be referring to transnational terrorism as an "illusion" only in the sense that its threat to Western civilization is an illusion, created by neo-conservatives to seize power. This is exactly what realist philosopher Hans Morgenthau was warning us about when he criticized the "demonological approach" to international politics. "Communism" wasn't a threat to the U.S., the strategic power of the Soviet Union was.

  • Probably helped to wake some of the 99% up.
