this article explains that successful suicide bombers usually have a better education than the ones who are caught. i take two things from this: 1) success in education does not imply intelligence but is more probably a sign of a mind that follows rules and is easily controlled, 2) the poor are too occupied with survival to succumb to the fear tactics of religious/political fanatics.
