Well, for starters the US should leave Iraq and Saudi Arabia very slowly. Saudi Arabia contains Mecca, which is a holy site and actually the whole country is considered a holy site. One way to recruit suicide bombers is to get them to realize that the US has permanent military bases near holy sites and in holy countries. I mean if I was Catholic and the USSR had put a huge military base near The Vatican, I would be pissed and might join the Catholic Jihad to get the USSR out of there.
Then I would do agrarian reform in Afghanistan so farmers don't go back to growing poppies. Which is what should have been done back when the Afghans and the US got the USSR out of there. The Taliban came into there because the US stopped helping the Afghans too suddenly.
History has a long past (ironically) and Bush doesn't really want to win the war on terrorism, he just wants it to go on forever.
