My point was that their tools are their followers. Radical islam preys on the poor and uneducated in the middle east. It is one of the largest providers of social/educational services in the middle east. Get em young and train them for one purpose and one purpose alone. Some of our own policies and acceptance of other countries policies (of which we do immense business with)has created the problem or at least further exacerbated the situation.

The problem with looking at terrorism like this is it is a long term effort, one that has never seriously been tried and isn't in the best interest of current business nor most administrations goals! Nor does it address the immediate threat of terrorism. Then again neither does the "war" in Iraq!
