    The Power of Nightmares: Baby It's Cold Outside

    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.

    THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES
    Three part series
    Wednesdays from 20 October
    2100 BST on BBC Two


    I: Baby It's Cold Outside
    II: The Phantom Victory
    III: The Shadows In The Cave
    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"'.

    The Power of Nightmares, a three part series begins on Wednesday, 20 October 2004 at 2100 BST on BBC Two with Baby It's Cold Outside.

                thats all brilliant thinking until you change your timeline from "after 9/11" to "including 9/11"
                its sad that children buy into this nonsense.
