The thing is Terrorists have a lot of passion, though it may be channeled in the wrong direction. I don't think we can blame them for this. They are poor, usually ignorant and they live in the desert (where there isn't a lot to do). So they get excited about every new thing like Intifada or making pipe bombs. It's a change, you know, it's something to do. I think though that this energy could be redirected into something more productive. I hate to be the one to say it but either you're contributing or you aren't, and they really aren't right now. Instead, they could do something really worthwhile or at least enjoyable for themselves, such as: basket weaving, Civil War reinactments, baking (they could have their own channel on the Food Network "Baking With Bin Laden" or "Who's In The Kitchen With Bin Laden"). Someone could also maybe teach them a better way to express themselves, like through art. "Paint how those capitalist American pigs make you feel, let it all out". I think we'd get a lot of nice dark paintings out of it.
When my parents were doing some remodeling they decided to scrape the popcorn texture off the ceiling. There was some asbestos in it but my Dad went ahead and scraped it off anyway, which I thought was a good idea because he is old. By the time those asbestos particals lodged in his lungs become cancer he will be long gone. This got me thinking, let's say you're an elderly person most of your friends are dead and you don't feel like you have anything to give anymore, or let's say your a depressed person who can't find a reason to go on*. I have a solution. Just get a really dangerous job that pays very well. There is a good chance you will die and you can do something useful in the process. For instance you could work as security personell in Iraq (though sadly the elderly do not make good foot soldiers), you could work as a welder on an oil rig, or you could work at a nuclear testing facility. All good options... I'm just saying.
*There is nothing wrong with being depressed, this is me every other day.

Deadliest Catch with elderly people... 70-year-old men as snow crab fishermen could work out.. since they're up at like 4 am, but crab fishing is like a 17-hour job... So at 4 pm the whole crew would be sleeping...
30-minute meals in Afghanistan caves...
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Painting Wild Places! With Watercolors
Depressed Man vs. wild.
Interesting... you could have just stumbled on to a TV network executive's gold mine...
Having terrorists participate in reinactments of the War of Northern Agression is a great idea. Once they have the whole war reinactment thing down they could make their own - like, The War of American Agression.
...Or we could also train them to be comedians. I don't think there is anything funnier than a straight faced terrorist in a bad mood telling jokes about Americans.
