Could this be a cure for terrorism?

Bill Clinton once said that $100 million dollars to educate those in poverty could go a long way towards stopping terrorism.

Hillary Clinton says similar things:

SENATOR CLINTON, CONGRESSWOMAN LOWEY INTRODUCE THE EDUCATION FOR ALL ACT OF 2004


September 29, 2004


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington, D.C. - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY18) announced, today, the introduction of legislation that would focus U.S. attention on the need to provide all children around the world with a quality basic education. The Education for All Act of 2004 would do this by concentrating on policy, leadership and resources, three areas in which U.S. action has long been lacking.

Senator Clinton believes that making universal basic education a major goal of U.S. foreign policy, the world and the nation will be safer. "By committing the United States to an initiative that will provide hope to many around the world we will ensure that people will turn against the hate preached by our enemies," Senator Clinton said.

"This isn't just about education - although that is important - this initiative focuses our attention on a glaring global problem. Today, too many children are either not being educated or are being educated to hate," said Congresswoman Lowey. "This is a part of our broader war on terror - by helping these children get a quality education we are promoting stability and prosperity in the future."

In its report, the 9/11 Commission has validated this position by making education in the Muslim world a key part of our long term strategy to combat terrorism. The 9/11 report emphasized that the education system in the Middle East contributed significantly to 9/11.

It makes sense to me. But it would destroy the Neo-con's agenda for perpetual war. :eyes:
