Argentine President Kirchner tells U.N. General Assembly that the roots of terrorism run deep, calling on member states — and particularly the U.S. — to address the policy-linked and economic issues that give rise to violent extremism. Addressing economic terrorism would be a major boon to dealing with the thugs recruiting young people that go on foolish crusades because they have lost hope and the opportunity to be productive members of society, she said. Her point was that the roots of terrorism run much deeper than people simply picking up guns and cutting off heads in the name of morbid and twisted worldviews, and ending the cycle of violence starts with addressing its roots, not just its symptoms. Those roots lie in the wrong policies and economic sabotage that is disrupting the world, whereas groups like al-Qaida and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria are merely the symptoms, according to the position articulated by Argentine president at the U.N.
