You do realize that the many of the 911 terrorists were from middle class families and went to university.I have noticed that South American poor are not flying airplanes into skyscrapers.

You failed to mention one thing that is common to most of the world's terrorists.Until they have a"reformation",the countries will not be successful.

They are preaching to "kill the infidels" in Mosques all over the world.They don't seem to mind killing many of their own faith while they blow up the infidels,either.

The middle east conflict cannot be solved. If the middle east"problem" were solved the people in middle eastern countries might have to start taking responsibility for their own failures and reform.Blaming one tiny little country for their misery is ingrained there.

You cannot reason with the unreasonable.

You are right about the individuals sometimes coming from wealthy families (especially like Osama).

I meant that they thrive on their perception of reality within the Arab world, the unsolved problem of the middle-east with all its violence, the poverty in many Arab countries, the double-standards of their Government-leaders (often being filthy rich and showing a "Godless" luxury live in sin)

They watch and read Arab news and some of them will be lead by all these frustrations to terrorism, like we had in the 70s some leftists students going into terrorism because of a certain perception of reality. (Vietnam, etc.) And some of them also came from wealthy families.

As I said: You can't change a terrorist, but you need to withdraw the reasoning- and propaganda-basis for them, so there won't be as many future terrorists attracted to this evil cause.
