Crazy mixed up kids

Brendan O'Neill (registration required) cites this study, which shows that most Al Qaeda members come from the middle and upper-middle classes, and concludes that we really don't have that much to fear from these "middle class attention seekers throwing terror tantrums ...
Our time might be better spent exposing the al-Qa’eda script for the nonsense it is than in fretting that these few posh bombers are going to destroy life as we know it.
I say, who cares what their background is? They want to kill us. Let's kill them before they do.

After all, the celebrated Che also came from a privileged background. Doesn't mean he wasn't a mass murderer.
