Maybe America should build another America in middle east so they can be rich and also have the middle east dream. I truely dont understand what their problem is. Is there anyway we can ask them what they want? Or as they themselfs say, they want their flag to run ontop of white house...so what do we Americans do?

Terrorism has existed since society has. There's no way to truly get rid of it for good. People have been fighting over things, since there's been things to fight over. Land, religion, race, whatever. There's always gonna be an issue. Even if we manage to silence the terrorists in the middle east for a while, there's still gonna be some kid bringing a gun to his school and terrorizing there. It's impossible to erradicate violence entirely. Certainly not by more violence.

Both, actually. You will need a powerful presence in the middle east if we're ever going to get a handle on terrorism.
Don't know if you remember back when Libyan terrorists were responsible for taking down an American airliner over Scotland in the 80's. President Reagan did a total attack on the Libyan dictator's city and brought him to his knees.
Even today, you don't hear a lot about Kaddafy trying to terrorize the US, much less anyone else. He learned his lesson - and if you take out enough of these terrorist sponsored nations governments, you leave the terrorists nowhere to go to for support. Afghanistan and Iraq were our first two issues dealt with...Iran and Syria may be next.
It can be done but it takes time, money and global support.

American-style capitalism is kinda biased towards corporate handouts and sweetheart/corruption-dealings. If we left the foreign policy of "big stick, no damn carrot, no negotiations, torture the enemy" off the agenda, and maybe shrink the defense budget, and maybe even throw a bit more towards actual reforms for home issues. The rest of the world can wait until we fix stuff at home, especially when we get our troops out of Saudi Arabia. Would you like it if Communist China had troops in Jerusalem?

One good way would be to stop being an occupation army. All occcupiers are resented by the local populations, especially if they are blowing things up and killing the locals. Why don't we get this simple point. Stop meddling in their politics, their resources, like oil, and their everyday lives and their resentment to us would fade into memory.

Are we still doing that? I thought Bush gave up on finding a terrorist and Killed Saddam instead.

You're an American? I don't think so.
