According to Red Hat's CEO, the vicious nature of (some) American commerce is
the cause for terrorism. I can't recall the exact working, but I concur with
him fully. That's why we need projects like OLPC, which Microsoft and Intel
gleefully sabotage. They can't sleep at night without money and power (i.e.
exploitation that leads to ego boost and feel of superiority). Ask Gates,
Ballmer, and Ellison...
