They are educated technically- but not in the crucial element of self determination- that is why I put that bit about being "enlightened" in there- I wasn't quite sure how to describe quickly what I meant. I should have been more specific about what I meant. I was trying to say that it seems to me many have not learned how to take on the creation of structures that will take care of them eventually- but in the beginning require much effort to create. I see that slipping away in this country also- that elemental spirit of creativity combined with social responsibility and community zeal- but with a more general focus than for one's own ethnic or religious group. Not that it was perfect in this country, but with a certain amount of tolerance front loaded into our society by the Constitution I think we have had a fairly benign history- including our Civil War- you don't have Northerners and Southerners still hashing that out in this country- and in the Balkans that would be considered recent history it seems to me. And I am sure you are right about the rise of Muslim fundamentalists. Those are scary folks with big plans.
