If people have promise of homes,jobs and a decent standard of living they are much less likely to become extremists and to support terrorists.

I think there is a lot of wisdom here. I believe this was the essence of the Marshall Plan for helping resurrect Germany and Europe after WWII - help them get back on their feet. Note that after WWI, they did the opposite - the asked the loser nation (Germany) to actually pay for all the damages of war as a punishment, and in many ways, the oppressive burden of this punishment led to the rise of Hitler and WWII.

The problem here is we possibly couldn't execute on such a plan for many of the impoverished nations that seem to breed these terrorists. They are typically too uneducated and unskilled to be able to compete economically in the modern world.
