Precisely.
Osama Bin Laden is a rich man's kid and well educated. Mohammed Atta the brains behind the 911 attack was well educated. Bin Laden's #2 man Zawaheiri (or whatever his name is) is a doctor (get this was a pediatician). As in most "revolutions" the leaders are from the educated class (like Marx or Lenin). The leaders of our own Revolution were for the most part learned men, not coming out of a background of poverty. The idea that poverty causes the behavior of terrorists is just an outright lie. It's ideaology, not poverty. Blair better learn this and learn it fast, or it's going to happen again in London, and other major cities (hopefully not one of ours).
Bush better figure this out too, if he hasn't already. I know Cheney and Rummy have it figured out, but the campassion part of Bush's conservatism worries me. He can get sucked in by Blair on this. He got sucked in by donating our hard earned tax dollars to go down a rathole in Africa, egged on by Blair. Ugh.
