All you have to do is take a look at the Middle East to see what I say is true. Their young people emerge from adolescence to find themselve without real prospects for employment. Worse they find themselves faced with lifelong unemployment, while the people at the top of the ladder live in ridiculous opulence (like Saddam, Omar, Osama, Ghaddafi, Arafat, Saudi royal family, etc). Then these mosques are preaching hatred of the U.S. and martyrdom in the same breath, and voila, the youths find a cause to keep them interested for a time until they find their deaths. These are disillusioned and desperate people, being put in love with death by cynical, uneducated, and misguided muslim clerics. Where do many of these suicide bombers come from? The Middle East. Why don't we have more suicide bombers in America since we have a hug population of Islamic people? Because they find that their basic needs are taken care of and there are plenty of economic opportunities here to keep their minds off of being in love with death. It all boils down to Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs. If you don't get your basics taken care of, you become increasingly feral and fanatic. If you do, then you can focus on other things.
