How to Stop a Terrorist
Make him/her so happy with day-to-day life that (s)he has no desire to topple buildings with airplanes or bomb a country's infrastructure.
Recipe for general happiness: Food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, a living wage & fulfilling work. Mix with a few close personal relationships, a general atomosphere of safety & security, and a societal attitude of acceptance of personal differences.
This isn't freaking rocket science, folks.
For a great discussion of the biological means of happiness, see the book Satisfaction: The Science of Finding True Fulfillment by Gregory Berns.
