Power Of Nightmares 2of6

Should we be worried about the threat from organised terrorism or is it simply a phantom menace being used to stop society from falling apart?
In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares.

The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media.
At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists.

Both were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world.

These two groups have changed the world but not in the way either intended.


Those with the darkest fears became the most powerful
Together they created today's nightmare vision of an organised terror network.

A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. Those with the darkest fears became the most powerful.

The rise of the politics of fear begins in 1949 with two men whose radical ideas would inspire the attack of 9/11 and influence the neo-conservative movement that dominates Washington.

Both these men believed that modern liberal freedoms were eroding the bonds that held society together.

The two movements they inspired set out, in their different ways, to rescue their societies from this decay. But in an age of growing disillusion with politics, the neo-conservatives turned to fear in order to pursue their vision.

They would create a hidden network of evil run by the Soviet Union that only they could see.

The Islamists were faced by the refusal of the masses to follow their dream and began to turn to terror to force the people to "see the truth"'.

Yes, the Jew Pipes had to spend considerable time brainwashing the "kindly" (aka demented) Reagan to the Jewish Paranoid View of Everything. Too bad we had a senile man in the presidency who would let these narcissistic paranoids have their way.

The idea, that total freedom might not be all that great, as we in western countries think about it, is interesting.

For example, we don't give aour children total freedom, but instead, we rise them with some necessary rules.

we should be worried about simple minded individuals that have come into power and feel that we the people should be controled according to their idea of a perfect world. Life is not perfect. And it is the imperfections and differences in each of us that make it worth living. we do not want to become carbon coppies of each other. individualisim is important to a free and beautiful life.

instead of killing.. why don't you re-educate them?

I understand that by killing, that's a shock education/awakening. But... you also legitimize a nasty backlash.

Jeezus, don't vote at all. It's like believing that the WWE is for real. The match is always already decided before it begins..

What I don't understand is if Zawahiri and his ilk believe the people are a legitimate target because they are so badly infected and are thus not Muslim, why do they always talk about the populations of nations, Egypt, Palestine, Somalia, Chechnya, Kashmir etc, as the 'Opressed Muslims' who they are 'Defending'.
