Hi Kathy...Hi Kelli !

Thansk for posting this. The author makes very good points. I think there is some truth to the poverty issue however from the standpoint of "What allows this type of political dissent to occur" . Poverty should not be viewed only in terms of the physical wealth one, or a group, has. Poverty equals disenfranchment, equals no freedom, equals oppression. And when "rich" nations are a part of all this oppression, then the rage is directed to them. I see Africa as a place where, if intervention on a massive scale does not occur soon, we are in for big problems. These children who are raising themselves, fighting their own wars, and starving, are ripe for the picking for terrorist movements. Their countries are ripe as havens for groups planning terrorist acts.

I would like to see some comparison of modern terrorists and what were called "freedom fighters", revolutionaries, Resistances etc. One needs brains, education and money to plan such activities. And certainly the architects of 9/11 had these qualities.
