David SmithPersonally, I think it stems from the fear mongering that President Bush and Dick Cheney persistantly did since 2004. Every week they were out there saying that the terrorists were wanting to "kill your children and grand children" (when actually what the terrorists were wanting to do was destroy SYMBOLS of America - World Trade Center, Pentagon, White House, etc).
After years of doing that THEN the economic crisis hit and (some) people were/are mentally and emotionally worn out and can't think of (or don't want to) find a way out. So, they turn to violence.
