Certainly that article has some "different" ideas of what are root causes. It is too difficult to argue about that when we have not even agreed on the definition of "root".

I don't think that people need to be rich to live in peace. The issue in the article is globalization. If the hillbillies of appalachia (such as myself) were to suddenly be forced to exist in a globalized economy, it would be interesting to see how long the peace would last.

I realize that most people don't accept that some people hate them for no valid reason. But I also don't think that Hisham Whateverist, the Palestinian, fails to be effected by inequity in the world.

I suppose that most here do not believe in the efficacy of perceptions. But isn't it true that we are seen as a sophisticated military empire by those who would do harm? Envy is a kind of poverty.
