I found some words from mcresq@aol.com (Russ) in my phone cable...
RussWhat's wrong with noticing that some things cause some effects?
Your cause and effect dialectic is showing through.
The hijackers were all well educated and came from prosperous families. The planners of the outrage too were all well educated and came from prosperous families.OK, you're probably right there, at least for Osama and his pals. So for them it's probably a more scholarly approach to "envy" than just hunger. (IIRC there's an intelligent T.T.Arvind post somewhere about them feeling inferior and politically powerless despite their - originally, in the Middle Ages - way superior culture and living standard.) The poor, illiterate ones exist, but they are more probably the ones who strap explosives on than the one who plan in the background.
Maybe I over-simplified that, but my point of "poverty and the uneven distribution of wealth in capitalism nurtures terrorism" remains intact.
