Two comments here.
One: Journalists should start to understand that to be lead by fear is almost the strict definition of fascism. So when they don't dare asking the right questions, they do support that kind of regime.

Two: People seem to forget that more than 500 000 children died in Irak over ten years, mostly for malnutrition caused by the sanctions. I did disaprove of the war and its motive but I remember feeling conflicted at that time for this reason.

"...cause of terrorism is "a rage that comes from humiliation, lack of respect, and also from factors that we are unaware of, generally uneducated about."

Exactly, thank you Deepak. This is also the same conditions that drives gangs. It has nothing to do with race (or religion), we must close our eyes and just listen to the actions, and figure out a way that prevents people from feeling like this is a reasonable thing to turn to. When we identify people as "others" we are more likely to marginalize them and further their hatred and ours, thus, allowing them to justify killing.

I saw when Elisabeth said to "go light some incense" and I was in disbelief that someone who has the opportuntiy to reach an audience of millions (some of whom are weary of the middle east and anyone outside the U.S )could reason their argument against somone by this ignorance. But to by her own accord, she was not able to continue as a pre-med so it does not surprise me that she would marginalize these practices to just voodoo.

So. What's new. Elizabeth H. makes a fool of herself and her program by mouthing FoxNews blather. I am still suprised that words leaving the mouth never travel to the brain in someone like her. She has a big mouth about or troops fighting to protect our right to free speech but she is quick to demonize anyone whose party line is not hers. Stalin is alive and living on the View. As to Mr. Chopra. That great Socialist/Communist President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the American people about succumbing to the military-industrial complex. But we know he was in the pocket of the Communists. And his fellow traveller George Washington (a proto-Marxist-Leninist) warned about foreign entanglements (which of course fund the MIC). Thank god we have George W. Bush to warn us of these two evil presidents no matter what Mr. Chopra says.

Thank you Michelle and Thank you Deepak for voicing what is historically, culturally, politically and economically true about the American mindset that has been reinforced over the past 8 years. What you speak makes a lot of people squirm yet it does not change how we got to where we are now as a nation and as a world. Those who understand this have a choice to join in solidarity to make the changes the world so desparately needs. Yes, it is not an overnight remedy but a 50 year commitment for all of us.
