How to recruit terrorists, and other such quests.

I have had a working theory for some time: Successful terrorist operations, more than anything else, recruit terrorists.

As of late, I have heard much conjecture about whether our presense in Iraq is creating more terrorists. This is certainly possible, but I would say that terrorists pulling off terror operations is much more successful.

Finally, evidence confirms it. In the 9/11 review, working papers quote Osama Bin Laden as saying that he wanted to pull off a major operation to create a "funding and recruiting bonanza."

Just as I thought. So in order to prevent the recruitment of terrorists, I suggest we continue to attempt to prevent all terrorism everywhere.
