For liberals who are used to thinking of terrorists as the wretched of the earth, Barry Rubin, one of the best Middle East experts in business, has an op-ed that should (but probably won’t) serve as a corrective. Rubin writes:
“THE arrest of seven doctors in the attempted British terror bombings has shocked many people. Sadly, it shouldn’t. …
“So can doctors be terrorists? Can people who are financially well-off be terrorists? Absolutely. It is ideology, after all, that turns people into terrorists – not suffering.”
