MAKE SURE TO WATCH PART 2 (on youtube a well)
Chemical attack on the kurdish people in Iraq. The US turned a blind eye and then capitalized on the situation to go into Iraq again.
Where does terrorism come from? Situations or neglected people. People living in immense poverty (different then US poverty) with no infrastructure and no hope... Just like Christian Missionaries going into Africa, Islamic crazies go into the underprivileged, uneducated and provide a little bit of hope. They seek to capitalize on the misfortune of these people by converting them to their ideology (I am only comparing the techniques- Missionaries are obviously not the same as Islamic crazies).
The heart of the terrorism problem is the poverty. Go give these people hope and there goes the entire terrorist threat. How much would it cost? I would imagine way less then the pointless Iraq War which if anything, will create more situations like these.
The last interesting point is the involvement of the West. They know these things were happening but turned a blind eye because it was in their best interest. I am not anti- capitalist by any means but this "get money at any cost" mentality is no different then that of the gangbangers on any city's streets... The goals only involve billions of dollars instead...
