The Looming Documentary: HBO’s My Trip to Al-Qaeda



Wright lets loose with platitudes like, “alQaeda can’t destroy America. We can only do that to ourselves.”


Pulitzer-winning author Lawrence Wright explains; "It’s more about why they hate their own lives and why they think a supposedly noble death as a suicide bomber is their only escape."

This is a eye opening documentary, it will helps educate us to understand mind set of alQaeda. We need to know and understand this enemy. Not to develop fear, but to prevent us from becoming the enemy that they need us to be.

But most of all we can't allow our Religious-Right to adopt the same religious hated that could make our society become that of our enemy.

2. **Concerning**
I so see this becoming a Righteous Battle between thier Religious group just looking for a excuse and our group of Religious Right who are Righteously arrogant enough to give them all the excuses they need.

3. Unreccers hate it... as do republicans
usually slow on the uptake republicans WILL be lashing out at it soon enough.

I watched it too and found it mildly disturbing. especially the parts about the US "doing to itself the aims of AL Queda". watching the republicans/tea bagger/fundies in action it is intensely true.
