The myth of the poor, oppressed jihadist never dies. ... While meeting with Catholic Church officials at the Vatican in Rome on Monday, [John] Kerry expounded on their huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism or even the root cause of the disenfranchisement of millions of people on this planet.
