Not sure if this has been posted or not.

Power of Nightmares - British Documentary opines that the Cold war was unecessarily extended by the same folks (Wolfowitz, Pearle, Rumsfeld, Cheney) who are now touting the 'war on terror' for the same reasons - intimidation and manipulation of the US public through fear, and filling the coffers of arms manufacturers rather than spending money on much-needed domestic agendas.
