I'm almost scared to bring politics up again :-) , but has anyone seen this BBC2 documentary ? This link leeds to the free google video version (3x 1 hour) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Nightmares#Video

(Sorry for the weird link, but it appears that you will have to copy the entire link instead of clicking the link due to the use of "#" - the link clickable will take you to the Wiki article - the videos are at the bottom)

It gets 9,2 on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430484/

Any comments - personally I find it rather plausible - of course one could argue that oil also plays a part for some of the administrations more cynical members, but still its very well argued...

Funny enough both Kissinger and Bush Senior is portrayed rather positive in part 1, which I expect DB would protest like a madman :-) but any debunking from his part would be welcome :-)
