Bin Laden doesn't throw his own life away, though, you will notice. No, he needs poor, uneducated, unsophisticated Palestinians for that. Those children in Palestine have nothing. They grow up playing- kill the Israelis. They grow up throwing rocks at police. I can't imagine not being warped by life in such a place. On the other hand E- the Israeli children are being raised with a virulent hatred for Palestinians. Many Israelis just want to kill them all. And understandable reaction, but not a solution. So if every young man in Palestine came from a family that wasn't desperately poor, and if he had something like a real future to look forward to, you think it would be as easy to recruit suicide bombers? I don't think so. There would still be a few terrorists I suppose- we had the Unabomber and Mc Veigh, after all, and they didn't have hopeless lives- except as defined in their own minds- but they didn't want to kill themselves in pursuit of their terror either, they just wanted to kill other people. You have to hope that makes them a bit less effective. It is one restraint on their actions.
