Mary, RE: "Bin Laden would have to find a few thousand people who are willing to commit suicide"

Maybe this comment is a clue to the "why".

"Why" are so many people willing to commit suicide here? This wasn't just one crazy person, this was an entire group of people, a symptomatic problem. What is wrong with our foreign policy that an entire group of people would feel so hopeless in life and commit suicide and kill others?

Maybe the answer is something along the lines of educating people, giving them purpose, and giving them hope.

The enemy to terrorist Bin Laden could be ensuring that the people in this world have hope.

Education and jobs give people hope to create a better life, a future, a better lifestyle.

(I used to think that funding countries overseas was a potentially risky thing for the US to do to itself, but I now may make a 180 degree change in opinion. Maybe that's what is needed. Investment to create opportunities that drives economies so people have hope.)

Maybe terrorists are like street thugs that come out if they don't have hope and aren't kept busy being productively employed.

Regards,
Amy J
