On the other hand, I truly believe that for America to leave Iraq and Afghanistan would go a long way to remove the reason for existence of "terrorist" groups. With humility and a lot of apologizing which is out of character, I know, but that's what it would take. And also, "terrorist" groups do not "invade" but spring from among the indigenous populations for what seems to them, good reason. Yes there is no easy solution, for the Bush administration may have alienated America from the populations of Muslim countries for many generations to come. The writer has some valid points.
