as long as there are people living in poverty and desperation and fanatics willing to exploit that desperation to gain power, there will be terrorists in the middle east. the us did not create that desperation and poverty and it certainly can't be expected to alleviate it all on its own. this one sided view of the causes of terrorism is as foolish as the idea that if we're nice to them then they'll be nice to us. sometimes that crap just doesn't fly. i know it's easy to say that it's all the fault of those evil americans, but such simplicity is not a virtue.
