As time has passed since the horrors of September 11, 2001, we have learned, little by little, about the inner workings of the neoconservatives and also the mindset and inner workings of Islamic fundamentalists. I have, through the suggestion of a friend, begun watching the BBC limited series "The Power of Nightmares". This documentary has removed the "little by little" from my own learning curve. It can be watched at YouTube. "The Power of Nightmares" exposes the almost eerie parallel growth of the neoconservatives and radical Islamists. Probably the most shocking evidence in this series of half hour presentations is the parallel goals of each group. The neoconservatives and radical Islam were born at about the same time, went through similar metamorphoses and actually share the same goals. If you haven't seen "The Power of Nightmares", I urge you to begin watching it. For me, at least, it's like the proverbial book that can't be put down.
