Ran across some notes I'd written myself a couple years ago. I was cleaning up prior to a move and found some of my thoughts on terrorism. I haven't discussed terrorism in a while, so (for an easy post) I post them here:
Lack of economic opportunity is a contingent factor and not a precipitating cause of terrorism.
It [lack of economic opportunity] provides a ready pool of potential operatives, but does not cause the motivation (ideological) behind the terrorist act.
These aren't profound thoughts, but I found them interesting. Interesting in that I felt the need to write them down--what was I drinking?
