Bin Laden left his life of pleasures, and has lived with his four wives

Huh? 4 women to sleep with, and he's "left his life of pleasure"?

If prevention rather than revenge is our goal, rather than pursuing a lengthy military war against terrorists and killing many innocent people while increasing the number of future terrorists, it might be better for the U.S. to back a U.N.-sponsored Marshall Plan for them—one that could include Community Parenting Centers run by local people who could teach more humane childrearing practices36—in order to give them the chance to evolve beyond the abusive family system that has produced the terrorism, just as we provided a Marshall Plan for Germans after WWII for the families that had produced Nazism.37

After such a scathingly correct analysis, this recommendation is so naive as to be infantile. The fate of people who tried this would be the same as the Aid workers in Iraq or Afghanistan -- death. Muslims would view this as a cultural death of Islamic society, and kill the workers.
