I'm not so sure we need to be at war with them. Honestly if we put the money for the war on terror into something like medical research or educating people more we would wind up saving more lives than we loose. You said that there were 7500+ terrorist attacks since 1981. Now how many people have died as a result of those attacks? Better yet how many of those attacks were on the US? How many americans died in them? Now how many americans have died since 1981 from smoking? from car accidents? from organized crime? from drug usage?
I am in no way convinced that the terrorists are a major threat nor am I convinced that responding to them by invading countries is curbing their support. In fact I think that the US making mistakes in these wars makes more terrorists than it destroys. For example the Jordainian bombings last week were performed by Iraqi's who were probably normal people before the US invasion but due to family getting killed by American actions they turned into terrorists.
