a strange way to fight terrorism

All the major "terrorist" groups have one objective: get the enemy out of their country. (Yes their country. If we can claim to own a country we did not create, so can they.) Just read anything by Bin Laden, or the Provisional IRA, ETA, etc. Al Qaeda is particularly clear: it wants American military bases out of Muslim countries. When we follow the American Founding Fathers position and get out of other countries, terrorism stops. They don't bomb Norway and Sweden, and they stopped bombing Spain once Spain changed policy. I am not saying this to advocate retreat, but to point out the major cause of terrorism: military bases in other countries.

So how is the American government planning to combat terrorism? By expanding military bases in areas with high Moslem populations. D'oh.
