From an earlier paper:

http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/bush/povterror.htm

The root cause of terrorism is not poverty, it's repression and
extremism.


Not sure that that can be supported by what you said. The terrorists
themselves may be better educated than the norm (how many are college and
post-college graduates, BTW?), but the justifications they use for their
actions may be totally different than what you're concluding from their
backgrounds.


From the same cite:

"A remarkable 57 percent of suicide bombers have some education beyond
high school, compared with just 15 percent of the population of
comparable age."
