The biggest weapon in the terrorists arsenal?

Poverty and hunger.

People who are destitute and hungry with no hope are very easy to recruit.
They
will go along with anyone who comes to them with the answers to their
immediate
problems. If we had spent the money already wasted on this idiotic and
futile
"War on Terror" building houses, schools and hospitals and feeding
people's
families, 3000 of our soldiers would still be alive and home with their
families. Instead, they are ripe for the picking when the terrorists come
calling, looking for anyone who wants someone to care about them.



I respect your POV, however I am afraid you are dreaming. We are facing
thousands of years of religious indoctrination and beliefs. Poverty and
hunger aren't part of the equation. I think you are making the mistake of
judging Islamic fundamentalism through the filters of western culture.
