THE ROOT CAUSE OF TERRORISM

It's not poverty, but tyranny.

It also doesn't help when the tyrants behind the Saudi press, who teach children to hate Christians and Jews, employ what appears to be a writer from the NY Times:

The article says "the hate Israeli children harbor toward Palestinians has reached a high point."

"Children under the age of 8 have pictures in their minds of Palestinian children as blind and with no teeth," the al-Majalla story says. "They wish that those children would suffer from AIDS and burn in hell. Israeli children admitted to these feelings. What is even stranger is that they used very strong language, which cannot be published here."

But researcher Asi Sharabi says the writer of the story, Tarsier Jabber, never spoke with him. The Israeli student, studying in London, says Jabber fabricated quotes and selectively used material from his research published in a 2001 story in an Israeli newspaper.

Might the Christian missionaries that the media generally abhors help set the world free from tyranny and hate in the Arab world and elsewhere? William F. Buckley Jr. thinks they might if given a chance.

I tend to agree. It's a good thing he made his argument more convincing than Ann Coulter's "...invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
