The Power of Nightmares

This film explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neoconservatism in America, parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today. From the introduction to Part 1:

"Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. And both had a very similar explanation for what caused that failure. These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended. Together, they created todayhahaha146;s nightmare vision of a secret, organized evil that threatens the world. A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful. " The Power of Nightmares, Baby It's Cold Outside.

You could easily discount that as tinfoilhat marketing if it wasn't a serious BBC production. The claims made haven't been debunked yet, and commentary available on the web from reputable sources tends not to attack the facts presented.

The documentary presents a quite symmetric view on origin, history and main figures of the two allegedly complementary fundamentalist movements which are the main players on todays world political stage: the radical "Islamists" and the "neo-conservatives". The "Islamists" take the right to kill everybody who is not a Muslim according to their definition of "Muslim" and believe in saving the world by means of terrorism. The "neo-conservatives" believe in saving the world by American dominance which is helped by making the masses believe in threats that are completely made up and are succesful in doing so since the seventies. The main proponents are all followers of an obscure political philosopher from the 50s, who identified individualism as the main evil to combat and proposed the use of myths as higher form of political propaganda.

Whether it fits your political outlook or not, it is very entertaining and thought provoking programming.

According to google-news, relevant U.S. based news sources haven't picked up the provoking documentary yet, except a review by the Christian Science Monitor. There are other reviews by The Guardian , Al-Jazeerah and The National Review Online.
