Same could be said of Afghanistan.
Pretty damn sure our enemies "Insert whatever terrorist groups" pretty much use ignorance, lack of educations, poverty, and propaganda to recruit people. Sure they may have the religious angle, then again most can not even read those religious books and well the promise of a better next life or afterlife over their current shit life probably sounds good. Primarily because their current life does suck the huge smegma dick.

Afghanistan is a perfect example of what can happen without aid. We spent a ton of money to help them beach the russians then when the war was over we ignored them. Much of the country was left in ruins and people were homeless and poverty stricken. This makes them desperate and desperation is the breeding grounds for extremism. Along came the Taliban and offered them security so they took it. Along came the drug dealers and offered them money to grow poppies so they took it.
If we had stepped in and helped rebuild the country and made sure people had some kind of future there we might have avoided the the entire problem there. We can't have that happen in Pakistan. There are far more people there and they have nukes.
