I'll add economic opportunity to that too.
A big part of the reason that the Middle East hates the West is because of decades of interventionist policies.
I will also add that nobody reads the Quran and says to themselves "I'm clearly not killing enough infidels." Instead, people who are already angry or prone to radicalization find justification for their actions where they want. I'm no fan of Islam, and I think that in general religion divides more than unites- but- I think the roots of terrorism are far more political than religious.
Sounds like a good plan actually.
Destabilisation brought us MORE terrorism.

Yes that's great. Afterall last 15 years of bombing brought us terrorism where before there was no terrorism, but im sure that if you could reply, youd tell me it's because we "didnt nuke em all".
Even wild animals learn from their mistakes.

Nevermind that we've been bombing them while support the guys that ACTUALLY brought terrorism to their homes... they hate us cause of RELIGION!
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
just pull out of the ME completely. let them sort out their own problems. also build a wall around it like the OP said. block all communication going in and out of that area. around 100 years later we can check in and see how they are doing.
Solid plan. We're not kiling anyone, we're letting them be responsible for their own actions, sovereignity is protected and the rest of the world is not in danger.
The wall thing is obviously not going to work and this doesn't solve the problem of terrorists that grow up in Europe, but it's a start. You need to cut them off from the internet, too, though.

I'm discouraged about our chances.
We are told to "awaken..." and "stop making things worse..." considering that the course we're on will never be good. However, I think the politics in this country has been thoroughly corrupted.
First, of all, our ability for people to understand what's going on is poor. You receive your news from propaganda outlets that only say exactly what they are told.
Second, the Supreme Court informs us that issues like war and peace are political questions and in addition they won't get involved.
Third, it's likely they would be killed if any of us actually were able to organize an effective resistance. This is basically the lesson we take from what actually transpired towards civil rights leadership together with the Kennedy boys.
Fourth, elections are about who may have the bucks to invest in them. So says the Supreme Court. War mongers have the money.
And fifth, you can't vote on whether you prefer to take a look at war. And, you can't make sure that you are voting for many who will continue to work against going to war. People who say they will do something attractive lie in order to get elected. Obama is my main example for this point.
Understanding and action are two different accomplishments. We can see clearly what's going on, a difficult feat these days, but doing something is even more difficult.
Holy shit we should have just let Russia take Afghanistan in the 80s. Then it would have been their problem.
Take down countries FireWalls and you'll see how quickly terrorists will disappear. Ignorance is a powerful tool. North Korea is the way they are cause the people there have no idea how the outside world is like. Getting more people internet access is also needed. Information is a powerful tool.
There is a solution, although no one will like it.
Apocalyptic-genocide. Wipe out the human race. No more terrorism!
Very easy: Stop bringing Sunni muslims into the West.
the problem is if you dont build a wall, the terrorists that escape will come over here. as much as they could say "we only commit terrrorist acts because u invade our country" u gotta remember some of them actually believe islam is the only way and their mission becomes seek and destroy. posing as refugees isnt a far stretch and it allows them to destroy other countries while being blameless refugees.
It's too late to end it completely. You can reduce it by pulling out of the ME. For every civilian that dies a lot of people are affected, and hundreds of thousands have died over the years. Reduce the number of possible new terrorists and you reduce terrorism.

Yep. If they got access to all the oil it would still be here today.
If you know the history of Islam, you'll know that it will be impossible to end "terrorism". At least from Islamic fundamentalists.
