      Study says goverment, not poverty, causes terror

"A John F. Kennedy School of Government researcher has cast doubt on the widely held belief that terrorism stems from poverty, finding instead that terrorist violence is related to a nation's level of political freedom."

The US is going to cite this study very frequently in the next four years to rationalize their strategy of "liberating" countries to stop terrorism.

Obviously this study was done on nations that have gravitated naturally towards a certain type of government. When you forcibly turn a government into a democracy, there is no telling whether the results will be the same.

Are you stating that the U.S. is forcibly turning Iraq into a democracy?

Main Entry: de·moc·ra·cy
Pronunciation: di-'mä-kr&-sE
Function: noun
Inflected Form: plural -cies
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections
2 : a political unit that has a democratic government —dem·o·crat·ic /"de-m&-'kra-tik/ adjective —dem·o·crat·i·cal·ly adverb

What chances do you think the "Get the fuck out of our country, Americans" Party have of getting off the ground?

A PROUD MEMBER OF THE WESTERN MINORITY

User Picture       If we can't

If we can't create a democracy we can always create more enemies. Considering our government is more like a totalitarian dictatorship were not exactly on the demakrasee plan ourselves. GW is more like Ghangis Khan(probably misspelled) trying to conquer the fucking world. However Khan I don't think ever had the Saudis lining his pockets.

It behooves me to think we can interfere with different culture to the point of almost abolishing it. That is what we(USA) are doing we are fucking up other peoples way of life. Something I can not justify by any measure. I guess the color of justification is GREEN to some people.

I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
