Well said. Reading Cronkite's statement, it really is highly offensive. Nuttiness about a Worldwide revolution against our riches?? By all those poor people who are fed up with us no less. How much poorer would they be if we didn't exist?? A lot. Plus I am unaware of much Central American, South American, or African terrorism these days. And poverty in the Third World is no excuse for blowing up office buildings here.
