    Lots of guys with middle class upbringing, and college degrees. Mohamed Atta had a college degree, though looking now, Wikipedia has put a "economic uncertainty" spin on his radicalization:

    While in Hamburg, Atta held several jobs, including a part-time position at Plankontor, an urban planning firm, from 1992 until mid-1997 when he was laid off. The firm's business had declined, and when it bought a CAD system, "his draughtsmanship was not needed."[8][27] Atta also worked at a cleaning firm, and buying and selling cars to earn extra money.[28] After studying in Hamburg, Atta had wanted to return to Cairo to work, but there were few job prospects, as his family did not have the "right connections."[29][30] Atta was also concerned about actions of the Egyptian government in arresting political activists, and feared that he too would be a target due to his social and political beliefs.[31]

    Just saying that professional success doesn't necessarily make one a winner at life.

    Assuming he is in his early 20s and in the Bay Area while not in school, no doubt he is still living with his parents.

    He was also mentally ill, which is what afflicts most terrorists.

    Is it rationalizing if they are right?

    Yeah. If only the option to change his mind two days later was available when his tiny, itchy hands points the nukes at North Korea.

    Did Donald just break out "fake news" directed at CNN just now?

    I hear that right?

    Anybody see that?

    Fuck, I hope I'm wrong.
