Since without poverty their potential supply of recruits would evaporate, the Bin Ladens of the world have no incentive even to try to eliminate poverty. And, as usual with the "root-causes" seekers, they think the problem of poverty can be solved by throwing more money at the poor rather than really helping them--by education. How does that saying go about if you give somebody a fish, you've given him a meal, but if you teach him to fish, you've provided him with a living? :-?

Because they are so afraid of being accused of making "offending" or "insensitive" remarks about one group or another, they invariably pepper their speeches with apologist rhetoric. What they don't understand is that shedding the light of truth on terrorist organizations is not the same as being critical of an ethnic group or minority. A terrorist is not, and cannot be classed as an ethnic minority, and God help us if the mainstream media and destructive organizations like the ACLU ever succeed in convincing us otherwise. They've already got the politicos hood-winked... but then again, most of them are so simple-minded and/or made of milquetoast that it's not that difficult a task. But the majority of Americans are not so easily fooled or cowed, and I do believe they're getting just about fed up to the back teeth with elected reps that show their true colors in order to "appease" the monsters of the world - the main color being yellow!

Osama bin Laden did not attack America because he's fighting for the poor, he's got tons of money. He did it because he hates America, period. He considers us infidels and he became enraged when Americans were on what he considered sacred ground of Saudi Arabia. Never mind that the U.S. was invited there because the Saudis were convinced that they were next on Saddam's list. Osama and Saddam have killed far more muslims and kept even more in poverty and despair than anyone else on earth. Keep that in mind. What is wrong with these people???

Not only is Osama wealthy and well-educated, but I believe his second in command, Zawahiri, is a doctor...as were so many of those involved in this past summer's plots in Britain. And Mohammed Atta had a degree in urban engineering. Typical rot…truth be damned, it plays into the leftist mentality, so it’ll be repeated ad nauseum.

As well as the myth that well educated "terrorist" leaders might be acting on behalf of "the poor" of their respective societies. “Can we finally lay this silly myth about “poor, uneducated terrorists” to rest?

One would hope.

As well as the myth that well educated “terrorist” leaders might be acting on behalf of “the poor” of their respective societies.
