Adam Curtis' Bitter Lake BBC Iplayer

[Toronado]

Did anyone catch this recently brilliant documentary showing a series of connections of wrong decisions and cowardice by governments being more concerned with money and oil rather than blood. Also shows Britains military being out thought by Afghan tribesman very worthwhile 2 hours that will be watched by a lot less people than it should !

At the risk of sounding dull, I didn't quite understand the subject matter being interspersed with videos of people dancing. Didn't see the connection. Was there anything new on there? The American/western world's relationship with Saudi Arabia isn't exactly a secret. We saw that this week

Watched this on the train this morning, as has been said, it doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know in the grand scheme of things but it does construct the information in a very watchable format. I think that overall it does make you question what, if anything, is the solution.
