It is true that the main cause of Talibs turning into brainwashed fanatic terrorists is the not only the poverty, but there are other factors also which play a major role in converting the behavior of these personnel into something inhuman.  However, I still think the main and very important factor which plays the major role in converting these personnel into terrorist is the flow of  'petro-dollar'.  Saudi Arabia being the culprit using these innocent people to propagate their version of Wahhabism - a twisted version of Islam - needs to be stopped.  Saudis have been spending billions of dollars in flourishing Madrassas all over the world, especially in Pakistan, to recruit these innocent children to make them martyrs of future to achieve their so called religious objective.  Pakistan being a beggar country has no choice but to accept these grants from the Saudis at the cost of security of their own nation.  Pakistani government is forgetting that these madrasses will play a counter productive role and the students coming out of these madrasses will eventually become a threat to Pakistan itself.  They are sowing the seeds of their own destruction by opening up these madrasses all over the country.  It is true that weaker Pakistan is not a healthy situation for India due to the influence of these fanatics in Pakistan, and it is in the interest of India to make sure that Pakistan does not fall in the hands of these brainwahed non-state actors.
