>>So you agree with Obama and Marie Harf that we can defeat the terrorists by giving them jobs? ROFL and LOL!!!!
I think you've chosen a loaded paraphrase. When employment opportunities stepped up in Ireland it didn't stop those already radicalized as seems to be your chosen interpretation. But it did break the cycle. It did reduce recruitment and took bored youths off the streets and gave local communities something they didn't want to lose, which reduced terrorists' ability to hide amongst civilians. After which there were some last gasp psychopath efforts to perpetuate the status quo, followed by resumption of civilized norms.
Certainly I agree that applause and merriment would be appropriate.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
