This three-part documentary explores the twin politics of terror and fear, and
the nature and origin of terrorism. It deals with how and why the fantasy was
created. At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo-
conservatives and the radical Islamists. Both were idealists who were born out
of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. These two groups
have changed the world but not in the way either intended. Together they created
today's nightmare vision of an organised terror network - a fantasy which,
politicians then found, restored their power and authority in a disillusioned
age.
Part one looks at the origins of the neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists
in the 1950s. The rise of the politics of fear began in 1949 with two men, whose
radical ideas would inspire the attack of 9/11 and influence the neo-
conservative movement, now dominating Washington. Both these men believed that
modern liberal freedoms were eroding the bonds that held society together. The
two movements they inspired set out, in their different ways, to rescue their
societies from this decay. But in an age of growing disillusion with politics,
the neo-conservatives turned to fear in order to pursue their vision.
Part two assesses whether the threat from a hidden and organised terrorist
network is an illusion. It examines how the radical Islamists and neo-
conservatives, two groups with seemingly opposing ideologies, came together to
defeat a common enemy, the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The final part explains
how the illusion was created and who benefits from it. In the wake of the shock
and panic created by the devastating attack on the World Trade Centre on 11
September, 2001, the neo-conservatives reconstructed the radical Islamists in
the image of their last evil enemy: the Soviet Union.
