People in the US can avoid US culture. Think of the off-the-grid folks, the home-schoolers, even the fundies who put blinders on their kids in wal-mart, so the most they can get is a hillary duff album.
You think fundamentalists living in tents in the desert are going to see a mcdonald's and drop their bombs to buy a big mac? And you think that's going to hurt recruiting? Frenchmen--never successful battlers, threw rocks and grenades through the windows of mcdonalds for years, and still resent imperialist american culture. why do you expect a portion of islam to be unable to do the same?

We're never going to be able to turn the fundies living in tents, any more than you'd be able to do so with the fundies living here in tract homes. The only thing we can do is to deprive them of the support of the masses of enabling non-fundamentalists who make it so much easier for them to plan and carry out these attacks. It's them who we should target with the magnificence of American culture, and I think we could do so successfully.
