Special Features on DVD and Nuclear soapboxing

When I watched the featurettes on the DVD I was surprised (although I
shouldn't have been) at the political soapboxing.

The producers of the DVD tried to draw a weak connection between the nuclear
threat during the cold war and post-9/11 terrorism.

In effect they claimed that nuclear proliferation was the west's fault
and it almost brought us to world nuclear war; then it was asserted
that post-9/11 terrorism is following the same storyline, that it is
the west's fault and we are bringing a new destruction on us all.

The featurettes go so far as to show a group of kids watching Testament;
then the kids are being fed questions to underscore the agenda claim
connecting nuclear war and terrorism. The second featurette gives a
simplistic timeline of the nuclear age from WW2 to 2004. In this timeline
the history of the west is over-emphasized to make the USA look like
the world villain, while the history or Russia and the mid-east is barely
touched on to give no real insight into the nuclear ambitions and threats
of Iran, N.Korea, Russia, or China.

Disgusting.
