Cronkite said he believes "very definitely that foreign policy could have caused what has happened,"It's time for Walter to re-read "Final Exit" and follow the instructions therein.

What an idiot. The terrorists are wealthy (by local standards, and in some cases by any standards) Arabs, not destitute Fourth Worlders.

"The people in those countries who don't have adequate housing, don't have adequate hospitalization, don't have adequate medical care, don't have adequate education, they are not going to live forever in the shadow of the riches that we display constantly in our movies.."...No they don't..they need only to look at their so-called leaders and all the wealth have stolen for themselves..Sadam..Ara_fart, Laden..

Why can't people understand this? Or more importantly, why don't people want to understand this?

Well, one could apply the 'libertarian principles' of no-force and no-fraud and come up with a rationalization for anything, including flying planes into buildings. There may be some Libertarian-Communists who claim that wage-slavery is a form of force and fraud.

This kind of traitorous tripe doesn't really deserve a response. But I would like to point out Cronkite's basic stupidity of world history and revolution. Any student of Crane Brinton's theory knows that people who are poor and destitute almost never revolt; they are too busy trying to come up with the next meal. They don't have time to pick up a gun (or hijack a plane) and fight, because their mind is on surviving day to day, not self-determination, independence, or freedom.
On the contrary, many countries experience revolution while the economy is recovering or even booming.
I can't believe my parents' generation depended on this boob for news. But then, they didn't have Laurie Dhue back then :')

Cronkite should be tested for Alzheimers because something sure is addling his thought processes.

The old bugger really is senile!

Pound sand, Walter.Gotta admit, Walter remembers firsthand what happened to the czar and his family.
To: fight_truth_decay
America "hogs the world's wealth" and Cronkite is wealthier than 99.8% of Americans. Perhaps the old fool wants to give the terrorists his address.
(Although I'm sure he feels that he earned his wealth, whereas every other American came by it dishonestly.
To: LibWhacker
Uncle Walter, you are so out of touch.
To: fight_truth_decay
Walter, if you have a problem being wealthy, I would be more than happy to take that problem off your hands.
To: LibWhacker
Not only did we create such wealth, how much of it do we, as a country, distribute across the globe, for the express purpose of building hospitals, providing food, assisting in educating the poor, etc. etc.? Can anyone even quantify the trillions of dollars we have provided to all nations and peoples, whether in direct aid for the aforementioned items, or in military assistance (saving Europe's ass in WWI & WWII, for example), or in the rebuilding of ruined cities, or to prop up broken economies??? When will our nation be recognized for any of the GOOD that we do, any of the POSITIVE things we bestow upon all humanity? Maybe it's time to withdraw into an isolationist corner again, and let the rest of the world devise solutions to all their problems without ANY of our aid and assistance.
