There is no doubt we are presently living in a dystopian world, but in western countries tend to see this through "rose colored glasses". I personally believe, we are in a global crisis. This emerging terrorism, is a symptom of these corporation wars for the control of foreign resources i.e., oil. These Middle Eastern countries have a feudal age mindset and are acting much like Europeans did a thousand years ago. Some radicals are, in fact envious of the progressive nature of democratic countries, and seek to destroy what they could never achieve through peace and prosperity.
