broadstbull, There was a PhD research social scientist who studied Saudi terrorism, and her article said most Saudi terrorists come from an especially oppressed area within Saudi Arabia. I think the article also said several of the 9/11 terrorists came from this particular area within Saudi Arabia as well. The key being: where they came from, not necessarily their particular home. If a subregion is oppressed, this can impact them and apparently does. Probably ditto for the guy that reportedly tried to go to Afghanistan and fight against the USA (he was a middle class person, but his Mom's house was reportedly being bombed every week.)

I believe American policy is focused on removing or influencing oppressive regimes to create better environments, otherwise these environments tend to create a potential bed for terrorism. But I disagree with how Bush is going about doing this - starting a war is an oppressive act against another country so believe this has the risk of making terrorism worse. Hopefully, it doesn't.

Regards,
Amy J
