And I suppose Taliban were from prosperous families too? Remember them? The guys you warred against cause they were supporting terrorists...

Unh...IIRC (although I may fall victim to vicious propaganda ;) yes they were. They were students of very prestigious religious schools who thought they can change the world. Isn't it always like that? Common people, poor people don't have such strange ideas. Sure, they have dreams, but they're too busy living to

think

of killing others.

Good point. The Baader-Meinhof gang came from well-to-do middle-class families too. Of course, many "Taliban" were simply warbands that were bought over to al-Qaida by Bin Laden's money. The real Taliban, the theological students, knew nothing about fighting.
