BBC Sides With The Terrorists

I heard the theme to the Twilight Zone playing as I read about the new BBC series that conspirarizes how the threat of terrorism is just a veil used by "the American neo-conservatives" to keep themselves in power. Here are some quotes:

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised [sic] terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media.

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.

...

The Islamists were faced by the refusal of the masses to follow their dream and began to turn to terror to force the people to "see the truth"'.

The last line makes the terrorists seem like victims of a society that doesn't understand them. Poor terrorists, if only we could understand them. That sounds kind of like what neville chamberlain said about hitler.

To say that terrorism is a "myth" is just wrong. I don't think I have to source 9/11, or the WTC bombings of 1993, or the countless attacks of embassies. Let me remind BBC that one of their reporters was killed in Mogadishu by terrorists, and a cameraman was killed and another reporter seriously injured during a driveby by terrorists. (source) I'm sure if we were to ask one of them if terrorism exists, they would say it sure as hell does.
