BBC documentary
As a rule I don't talk about foreign policy or other national issues, since that's not what this blog is about. However, I recently had this BBC documentary brought to my attention, and it is very, very good. It details the rise of both terrorism based on the distortion of Islam, as well as the neoconservative movement. There is plenty of blame to go around, and plenty of lessons we could have learned from if only we had paid attention. Either watch the documentary or read the transcript, it is well worth your time.

I shall gladly take credit for bringing this to the attention of the guru here, though I still have to make it through parts 2 and 3. Yes, events which take 50 years to unfold are simplified to fit the 3 hour format of the show, but the picture that emerges is much more coherent and reality-based than anything you'll find coming out of the US government these days.

Sadly... the link you provided times out (at least at the time I'm posting this...)
Are there any other links to the documentary?
(I'll start searching the BBC site.)
Thanks!
Try right-clicking on the video and select Play in Real Player. That should open up Real Player in a separate window that won't time out. Worked for me.
