<< Take 10% of the military budgets of the world and 10% of the US and European farm supports and you can increase the aid to underdeveloped countries many times. Properly used these monies could easily(in our life time) solve their poverty problems in ways which would make them self-supporting(also in the USA). This would put a damper on many problems, unfortunately religious fundamentalism would only be reduced, not eliminated by such a course of action.>> Noel, are you referring to the "root causes" of the Islamist problem? You are not suggesting that the US is partly to blame for 9/11 because it spends too much on the military and not enough in the Third World, are you?
