This may be off topic, but I believe you have hit upon the very excuse that Osammy uses to justify terrorism. All it requires is a little rewording. It is because impressionable young people are forced to leave the path of (a particular?) God and lust after ipods and mobile phones and other consumerist junk that the forces of the great Satan that are causing these problems need to be fought. Ergo terrorism can be fought by tackling the economic and social problems that cause young people to lust after ipods, mobile phones and other consumerist junk. You need to agree with Osammy for terrorism to stop. From his viewpoint this is simple. shiv
