The most idiotic thing I have ever heard.....the Soviet Union was NOT a threat?!?! What world do these people live in?

So is he saying Islamic fundamentalism is collapsing from within?

These people are truly bizarre!

"During the Cold War conservatives exaggerated the threat of the Soviet Union," the narrator says. "In reality it was collapsing from within. Now they're doing the same with Islamic extremists because it fits the American vision of an epic battle."

We are guessing that people from the left see only what their blinders do not block.

Interesting: ..."During the Cold War conservatives exaggerated the threat of the Soviet Union," the narrator says. "In reality it was collapsing from within. Now they're doing the same with Islamic extremists because it fits the American vision of an epic battle."

If fundamentalism were in slow-motion collapse within the Islamic world... I wonder if we in the West would even be aware of it?
