Excellent

Just got done watching the whole thing, and I'm glad I did! Although it's long, the documentary does an outstanding job putting together all of the pieces to rationally explain the motives behind both the neoconservative movement and the radical Islamist movement. Honestly, some of the more recent actions of both groups had me completely baffled...now I understand, and toward the end of the third part I really had to work to keep myself from punching my monitor in disgust.

At any rate, great find!

Interesting that the original creators of both the neocon

and the Jihad movement believed it was necessary for the "elite" to deceive the population in order to "save" them from the disease of individualism.
