I should have looked at your profile first, true. I'm 42 and live in Sweden, on the West Coast.

I laughed at the definition so much that I nearly cried myself while wanking.

i started watching the power of nightmares and i find it kinda iffy.

i don't know if i can sit through three hours of a doc, that uses two people as origins who are hardly that well connected or documented themselves.
it seems like pure fantasy.

though the premise is believable.

2 people? strauss and qutb? well that's just a starting point. It does seem a bit OTT in places and sounds like a bit of conspiracy theory in parts, and yeah, it is a bit long, but I think it raises a lot of interesting points about the way politicians can use fear of enemies and exaggerate the threat for their own agenda.

in one part, listening to recordings of rumsfeld talking about communist threats in *exactly* the same way as he's talked about "the war on terror" is pretty unsettling.

oh, i never doubted that the current way to politic is through fear.
america, has always used a common enemy to rally the population through patriotism.  since, they really can't make the peoples support be compulsory.  they have always decised ways of making people fall in line without the gun to the head tactic..

personally i view anybody who voted for george w. bush as a coward and sheep.  all he did was tell people if you don't vote for me then the big, bad scary boogeyman (middleeasternman) is going to get you.
