I disagree on two points. First, the poverty of the 1930s was in America where capitalism was the way of life. So they were looking for something different. In the Middle East they are living in poverty because of Islam and not because of the West or capitalism. So their gripe should be with Islam, not the West and capitalism.

p>Second, Communism was just an ideology and the other has a spiritual aspect to it and therefore must harder to stop and control/change. I do not think the West has a clue what they are fighting here. This ideology is much harder to change. And I do not think that democracy is all that is needed. I think it will definitely help. The most import thing is to get the flow of information into those countries. br> -- Joseph D'Ambrosia /p>

Well said!

Now let's find a solution to poverty and apply it to the third world and remove the fuel for these threats to our society.
