Most Westerners are not at all familiar with the nature or history of the extremists. The program exposes the principle that fear can be used as a tool to manipulate the masses. Unfortunately, this is also something which is happening inside the Baha'i community. Baha'is are taught to fear CB, the internet, any creative or original thoughts, bold individual initiatives, unofficial translations of the writings, deficits in the fund, etc... The list goes on and on. Paul,

"Blowback" is one of my favourite Euphemisms too. btw - did you see the BBC series "<a HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/4202741.stm" rel="nofollow">The Power of Nightmares</A>" last november?
