Al-Qaeda, good friend or foe?
There's a lot going on about how bad Al-Qaeda is and what not, but I don't understand how America hasn't realized one fundamental fact: that when there's great economic inequality there's going to be trouble. I think for all the benefits of the American way of life there seems to be a real problem dealing with economic difference -- see any inner city ghetto for the proof.
Terrorists should not bear the brunt of the blame. There are many complicated factors that go into the creation of a terrorist. The way to really stop the problem is not with war that breeds more poverty, but to evaluate and corect the situation that caused poor children to become so enraged as to become terrorists.
