We're not really in a position to leave anyone alone at this point, Chimp. We've chosen to abandon isolationism in the past, it's put us in the mess and we have to follow through.
Ok, Max, I respect your argument.

Imagine for a moment we'd put all the resources we've put into the raq war into tracking Bin Laden down and dissmanteling his organization. Maybe we'd still have failed. But it's a LOT of resources.

Here's my thinking. Just hear me out, ok?
Terrorists need both money and places to set up camp, right? States in the Middle East such as Iraq (yes, it's true), Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia have been providing both. And if the states themselves don't fund terrorists, people inside them do.
Therefore, it stands to reason that if these states stopped harboring and funding terrorists, it would effectively cripple most operations.
So why not put pressure on these countries?
