After watching the documentary, "Avoiding Armageddon", eight excruciating hours about finding out how to avoid Armageddon, I learned nothing about stopping the end of the world and learned how it could actually happen. Now I can see why Americans believe that the only way to avoid WWWIII is to attack the world. At the end there came a plea to become a sponsor of the PBS series in your community. What and become a sponsor of WWIII? Are you kidding?

This eight hours of explaining the party line did nothing but move the country and the world a giant step closer to a world war. Everything that is wrong in the world was turned into a security problem for the US: aids, Kashmir, Arab regimes, etc. This four night commercial gave the reason for the US to attack the world is the US is saving the world from itself, from its chaos. This paints the US as always being the good guys doing the dirty work of policing and stabilizing the world and we should be praised not rebuked for our aggressions. The world holds an opposing view of US aggression as being one of oppression and colonialism. This view was shockingly absent in the documentary, which has great influence on the minds of Americans, and plays a large role in deciding if the US is going to continue waging war or not.

In my view, a US attack on the world is the threat to starting Armageddon and convincing the American people that instability in the world is a threat to our country is only half the truth; it does not look into the causes for the instability, like no money for aids, free market economics, or CIA sponsored terror in the world. Remove these causes and the world will avoid Armageddon.

The current sponsors should be ashamed for providing excuses for US Imperialism and the free market economy, the economy that builds wealth gaps and such staggering poverty that half the world is food insecure. When and where will Armageddon be avoided? Definitely not from this documentary.
