A Simple Answer to The Question: What Can We DO?

Juan Cole, in an interview with beliefnet yesterday, answered the question everyone should be asking (a hat tip to Liberal Avenger):

Is there anything the West, or the Muslim world, can do to stop terrorism?

Yes. You resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict with a Palestinian state that the Palestinians are happy with. You end the U.S. presence in Iraq, and put efforts into properly rebuilding Afghanistan, which has not been done. If you did those three things, 90 percent of it would go away.
