The fact remains that until we start working on the root causes like poverty and gross lack of education in the Mid-East and elsewhere, you're going to continue to see women getting killed for committing adultery, men killed for being homosexual, children abandoned for having deformities, etc etc etc. Engaging these countries with increased aid to fight poverty and ignorance stops the potential terrorists, while at the same time using military and police aid to root out the current ones. This White House is doing a decent job at the latter problem, and a half-assed job at the former.
