Read again. What you are saying is that "Doing less unfriendly things to non-Americans means doing unfriendly things to Americans."
Do you honestly think that way? I'm sure you don't.
And I agree with the grandparent here -- there's something which draws US to be the hotspot target for terrorism, and that terrorism originates from certain areas of the world with strong US military presene. Could it be that the best way to avoid the total amount of terrorism on US targets is to actually try to play nice towards non-Americans? Kind of like rest of the western countries like to do apart from US-led operations.
Ditch the War on Terror, and fix the problem at the root rather than try to brute-force through it. It is my claim that for some people this solution means "surrendering" and as such a knee-jerk reaction would be to not consider such options. Just imagine he PR failure for the president and congress who would even mentio that "hey, what if we're at fault...".
Personally, I wouldn't mind a little more return to isolationism... pull out all our foreign troops (outside of embassy protection details), limiting our near-foreign presence to our naval operations (for the most part). I'd also like to see some of the stupidity behind the war on drugs stopped as well.
