What about sports? Soccer, wrestling, etc. Introduce American football to them (that'll channel the aggression!)how does a society channel off and control the aggression of young males?

That's the exact reason that I argued in Rethinking Insurgency that women's empowerment should be a central component of counterinsurgency. If you look at inner city gangs you see that it's not JUST have girls, but it's having empowered girls that constrains male aggression. After all, Sageman notes that most terrorists have families or girlfriends. The Timothy McVeigh--I'm-going-to-blow-something-up-because-I-can't-get-a-girl phenomenon is relatively rare.
