Mr. Raman's article citing 5 points for the spread of terrorism misses one very valid point.
No country with a culture based on humanism can ever perpetrate the barbarism practised by the mordern cultures like the western culture. US is a young culture - an amalgum of wayward antisocial buccaneers who colonised a continent and decimated the local population - Red Indians for their gains. The british did the same before them. Do not forget V.K.Krishna Menon's reparte to the British representative in the UN when he stated that the sun does not set on the British Empire - " even God does not trust the English in the dark". One needs to be born and grow up in a moral culture of saints, Gurus, Sages; respect elders & parents, and practice a religion - whichever. When spouses do not respect the institution of marriages, children grow up in broken homes with a procession of fathers & mothers in their lives, condoms supplied like chocolates in schools to kids, what can one expect from such socities? Their loyalty, support and sincerity is only to the dollar, pound or whatever their currency and they will support anyone to their ends and benefit only.
