An excellent recent BBC documentary on the parallel rise and ongoing fall of both the Neo-cons and the radical Islamists. This is well worth watching, maybe twice - excellent history here and many illuminating interviews.

<...>
"These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way either intended. Together, they created today's nightmare vision of a secret organized evil that thratens 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."

4. i just watched this...(i know it's about time!) thanks for all these links

james baldwin wrote something to the effect of "i do not know what has happened but now i am not the same"

i can't quite put it into words how i feel--enlightened, awakened, amazed, horrified, angered, saddened, all of the above

whatever the mix of this cocktail i'm experiencing i feel that now i am not the same

i printed the transcripts to this
