Consistent with this, a recent analysis of 500 al-Qaeda members found that the majority of them had been in further education and were from relatively affluent families.

And it is this small analysis that is consistently overlooked by the MSM and the liberals. They claim terrorism is often caused by the poor & suppressed in the ME or culture. And until it is understood that this is not the case at all we will remain vulnerable to attack. We are not at war with the poor in the ME, but the rich of the ME and that gives a whole different perspective on the WOT and the phrase "Nation of Islam."

Exactly. And the other point is evil is a matter of personal CHOICE. Its not caused by social conditions, economic deprivation, familial abuse, or educational attainment. People who do evil do it because they enjoy violating society's rules and because it gives them a god-like power over others. They don't do it because society didn't give them a fair shake. That's the difference between how conservatives and liberals look at bad guys. We believe they need to be punished. Liberals believe they need to be understood and rehabilitated. In a nutshell, there's the difference between the two philosophies in our Age Of Terror.
