the power of nightmares

in 2005, the BBC released a great documentary, the power of nightmares, about the origins and rise of the neo-conservatives and the islamists, the war in afghanistan, the failure of the revolutions each group wanted to cause in their home countries, the shift in tactics of each group as a result, and the consequences of the invasion for each group. it is very interesting how the two groups worked against each other for goals that they, to some extent, shared.

the documentary is split into three parts, all of which can be seen here, where you can also download them for free.

(another cool thing is that the documentary uses the theme song to 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion' throughout the film, which fantomas covered on their the director's cut album.)
