I agree! A change of the mindset is generational change at best. In many cases flawed ideologies and poor educational standards are just beeing continued. Yet I want to be one of the naive and think that there will be a new way of thinking and noticeable political change. For the better or the worse.., who knows?!

Was pondering the same kinda question when Osama bin Laden was accused to be the guy behind the 911 attacks. The Bush administration was pushing that terrorist threat narrative claiming Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. (that of course were never found) He was ultimately denied to go to war by Congress because of insufficient proof of that. So, how come an allegedly educated guy like ObL (that came from a good family with business ties to the Bush family) could not have foreseen that the 911 attacks would ultimately give Bush exactly what he wanted..? At that point he was already on the run. Shouldn't he have known that an American invasion of Iraq would ultimately destabilise the Muslim world and give America further strategic advantages..?!! The outcome could in no way have suited someone considered to be a Muslim extremist, yes or no??!
