The 9/11 hijackers were neither poor nor oppressed, and generally poor and oppressed people don't have the wealth needed to make an effective threat to us.

There are enough people that buy into the death to the infidels spiel that they've been hearing their entire life in schools,mosques, and what have you. I believe you're the one who brought the words "poor and oppressed" into this argument. I just went along. Anyway, plenty of the suicide bombers who annoy Israel on occasion aren't dripping cash.

And by "social, political, economic," etc., I wasn't just referring to the bombers themselves. They can recruit plenty of cheap manpower from poorer neighborhoods, and they do a terrific job of hiding there too. It worked in Lebanon recently. They can get money from elsewhere and play this same game for a good while.

And STFU, Drose. If we keep calling them Basque separatists we might be able to sucker Spain into sending troops again. You're compromising national interests.
