Re: political violence: recognise its potency (none / 1)
I highly recommend viewing 'The Power of Nightmares', a 3 hour documentary for the BBC by Adam Curtis. The general theme is the western countries have used fear in order to govern. The fear of the Commies has now been replaced by the terrorists. What should have been a cooperative international police action against the terror cells has now been made for the benefit of governments and their multi national oil and military industrial masters. Not sure the documentary is in DVD but worth seeking out when broadcasted.
