Even Egypt with its Western looking appearance provided us with Atta and 10 other terrorists and 9/11. And folks like Atta were highly educated, yet still became involved in this militancy.. It quite similar to some of the Marxist movements that grew from disaffected youth during the '60-70s, at the height of our own baby boom...
