they do have something to do..... they go to Madras's all day, then they go to the Mosque to hear the latest anti anything/body not Muslim, then they plot their next attack on infidels. Oh, and don't forget, they have to kneel and pray five times a day, so that wastes some of their time too.

i guess "terrorist" isnt a 9 to 5er with a 401k pension hmmm? Otherwise they'd have 100% employment in Iran i would think.

i suppose it might do some good for there to be a very broad public works and municipal improvement program to help some of these folks out and keep them from going to the insurgency.

i mean, hey these guys/gals got mouths to feed, they need jobs and schools.

and with terrorism and violence happening all the time, i don't think that's very good for the iraqi economy or education system either.
