I would speculate that the War on Terrorism is based on cultural belief and spurted on, fueled if you will, with $$$ so as to complete whatever needs to be done to rid the world of another belief. I believe that is idealistic and it is also, if the only one left in the world after this terrorism is made up of one set beliefs with no others left to thrive. The Revolution was more of a practice, survival type crusade to free oneself and their family from being bled to death of the necessary resources one could live and developed a future. I believe money is the route of making anything one wants to accomplish materially for the future.

Or does it follow that the terrorism war and all others must be based on greed too?
