Do you think someone is so hopeless and filled with hate that they will kill themselves just to kill an imagined enemy at the same time because they are very happy with their lot? It is true that there is not a large portion of the worlds population which is starving (but some are) - but many people are hopeless and denied a basic quality of life and human dignity. Saudi Arabia is a country of incredible wealth where most people are very poor - THIS is what makes terrorists... to overthrow their government would not be the right path, it would only lead to nationalistic hate and terror... the course I recomend is to support the working class and egalitarian movements in each country.
I would buy oil from a socialist co-operative of the Saudi people before I buy it from some billionaire prince.
