The Doctor has always had issues with what he sees as the extreme measures that earthlings take to 'defend themselves.' I recall he had more than one stern talk with the Brigadier (who worked with the Doctor in Unit when the Time Lords had exiled the Doctor to Earth). If you can snag it, you should try watching the old school Who episode "Genesis of the Daleks" staring Tom Baker as the Doctor (and who you'll better know as Puddleglum from BBC version of The Silver Chair). It's a nice bit of sci-fi from the older series, and a good one to get some of the 'back ground' to flesh out things the new series has tapped into and hinted about at. It's recently been released on DVD. His companions in the episode, Harry and Sarah, are my most favorite of all Doctor Who companions. Yup, you’re seeing one aspect of Doctor Who-ism-ish-ness.
