Yes, Bob, that is why a multi-millionaire becomes a terrorist leader. Seems like he could do better spreading some of that money around amongst the poor. The fact is, the poor are hardly ever revolutionists, they are too busy trying to put food in their children's mouths to get involved. It is always the affluent middle class intellectuals who foment revolution. Yes, it was even so, here a couple of hundred years ago. The only difference between the American Revolution and others that I can see is that the fomenters were altruistic enough to let others set up the government (of course they did have a say about it). That is so unusual that I do not know of another case where that happened.
