on the other hand, what surprises many is that terrorists do not come from impoverished backgrounds.
rather, these people are highly educated and have privileged lives.
and it only takes a few of them to carry their evil deeds.
think about it.
terrorists won't be able to carry out chemical attacks without specialized knowledge on how to synthesize them.
neither would they be able to use a truck with bulletproof windshield if they don't have humongous financial resource
and yes, it's about arms. it's not like they magically sprout out of nowhere to be used as a tool for terror.
