They are just like you and me, they are simply raised in a world without a future. No they are NOT like you or me. They are certainly NOT like ME !!!. I have held long conversations with young people who their entire aim in life was to take a machine gun and go fight. They have NO idea why or to what purpose. They go because they are brainwashed. Of course the environment will change your outlook on life. But you STILL have a choice. You can choose to pursue a better life, or you can choose to become a terrorist.If you or I were born there, we might be...like them. Blood thirsty savages are not generally born they are raised. You seem to be saying this is some sort of genetic trait- I could not disagree more. WHAT ? Excuse ME ? I was BORN in a place of the THIRD WORLD so I CAN speak with a degree of direct knowledge. You are certainly not going to tell me how it is. NO, I am not suggesting that it is "a genetic trait" DO NOT put words that I did not write. And like many in the so called FIRST world, you are and have mistaken ideas as to how things are RUN in the third world. There are differences within the third world, but unfortunately, there is an underlying common denominator and that is CORRUPTON BY THE THOSE IN POWER. At times, and forgive me please, many of those in the first world are certainly very well educated.... but at times, you are SO naive, it is beyond joke. I have seen it not once, but MANY MANY times, I know that the intend is based in good will except many times, you have not the slightest idea how corrupt things are... Many times these people flat out take advantage of you and the aid that it is offered and on top of it they laugh at you. All this is really irrelevant now. The point here... (most unfortunately), that at this point this will change for the worse. I for one will fully support a far stronger response and defense to these acts. Yes I know the consequences of such stance.
