Are you sure they didn't have legitimate grievances as the President put it today.
He was referring to folks IN the Middle East - and YES they DO have legitimate grievances - they are DIRT POOR and have little hope of ever changing that. That's a pretty legitimate grievance. That doesn't mean they are RIGHT in what they are DOING, but it DOES mean that UNLESS you fix those underlying problems that are creating those grievances, you will NEVER solve the problem - no matter HOW many terrorists you kill because there will ALWAYS be MORE with those SAME GRIEVANCES to take their place.
Osama bin Laden: son of a billionaire. College Education.
Osama's successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri: Surgeon, from a rich family.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: Ph.D.
Exactly! A lot of these Arab countries are Oil rich. Im not buying poverty crap. There's is lots of poverty around the globe. I don't see these people running beheading people for being of a different religion. The one thing the wack jobs have in common is they are ALL muslims. That's the problem.

Then you haven't bothered reading anything anybody else has said, or don't have the ability to understand. Why should the rest of us engage somebody who is so intentionally (or not) ignorant? What about all the Muslims terrorists kill?
Some folks are just messed up, look at Tim McVeigh.
For most of the average, run of the mill foot soldiers of ISIS, they are poor, ignorant young men who don't think they have much opportunity for a better life under the current circumstances. Unfortunately there there are PLENTY of such folks.

Can you liberals stop using Timothy Mcveigh as an example "radical" Christian. Tim McVeigh was an anti government nut job, he didn't kill anybody in the name of Christianity.
