Thanks, Doug. Parenti starts discussing that part of resistance at
43:00, and at 46:00 mentions nihilism.

Previously, the word "nihilism" conjured up images in my mind of
beret-wearing serial killers. But Parenti explained it as a relative
lack of political vision; repelling the invaders without concern for
rebuilding society or costs to others. Parenti also cited Saddam's
release of prisoners from Abu Gharaib, some of whom were seriously
psychopathic.
