ble answer is a simpler one and that is to pull out from the Middle East all together and let the countries fight among themselves to settle their differences without having the United States as a big brother interfering. This is probably the single most important reason for the rise in terrorism. Terrorists more than likely target us because of their resentment against us for our intrusion into their world, especially when the United States is on the side of a country that opposes the countries home to terrorists. One instance of American involvement is Israel and Palestine who have been at ware for years and will probably be at war for years to come regardless of American involvement. The hatred shown by Palestine was evident as its citizens cheered when the World Trade Center and Pentagon were attacked. As lone as the United States is on the side of Middle East countries that are not Islamic then the terrorism will continue. American involvement in countries trying to overthrow a hostile regime also feeds the proverbial fire. The United States has already decide to send 40 million dollars to the anti-Taliban groups in Afghanistan, supra, this of course ties in with more American involvement and this alone will cause more terrorism against the United States. A third arena that needs treatment is military involvement. Americans have already shown their near unanimous support for military action against those responsible. But all out military use is not quite needed as of yet as there are other methods that would result in less loss and have the same effect. However, first, the United States military and the militaries of our allies need to be taught about a different style of warfare. The last thing the world needs is another Vietnam as guerilla fighting would probably be the most used method of war in these underdeveloped middle-eastern countries as the terrorists training is probably based on such tactics.
