This is tiresome. All nineteen of the 9/11 hijackers were college-educated men from middle-class families. *Many* of the suicide bombers in Iraq come from middle to upper class families. Studies have shown that the *majority* of Al Qaeda members are from families that are in the upper regions of their societies.

You claim of the poor, etc. is a tired canard that has been disproven conclusively.
