I guess one thing we might take from this, though, is that there is ultimately hell to pay for letting the distribution of wealth shift so heavily toward the top. Many more vengeful people, then. And perhaps this should be a lesson, in a global context, about how a wealthy country might best go about "fighting" terrorism: a look at the root causes, and an aim of addressing them in a constructive way, might go much further than a process that generates two new vengeful minds for each one that is eliminated by force.

High income, young males who don't work and live in low crime areas. I guess I wouldn't be vengeful if I fell into that category.
