Nightmares?
The BBC 2 Documentary The power of nightmares was excellent. I missed the first two programmes but tonights lifted the lid of the notion of "global terror networks". Maybe I liked it because it appealed to the optimist in me - but there's just too much hype and "scare" tactics around for my liking! (don't even get me started on the millenium bug stuff!!).
The main point of the programme was that politics has become about helping us avoid an imagined nightmare rather than offering us a dream.
I'm sure its no accident that this was shown on the day of the US election results!
