Bush is wrong. It has nothing to do with poverty. Bin Laden is a millionaire and the terrorists who destroyed the twin towers were from Saudi Arabia which is very wealthy.
Bingo!! Poverty does not spawn terrorism. It may have something to do with violence, but that's only because violence is used to get what they believe is rightfully theirs even though they didn't work for it.
Terrorism is a whole nother ballgame! This Islamic terrorism comes from the Muslim's hatred of Israel and America. Nothing more.
