Is Terrorism Infinite?
By Stephen Schwartz
Terrorism without financing is individual and isolated.  Without Saudi money Osama bin Laden might be no more than a Ted Kaczynski – the notorious Unabomber – of the Muslim world.  Both lived reclusively, but Kaczynski could hardly even fantasize the establishment of a global network of agents.  Islamist radicalism is based on powerful interests, rather than the oft-cited but bogus “root causes” involving U.S. and Israeli policy.
