Consequently it is possible to forecast three possible alternatives for the US policy maker as of how to continue war on terrorism and cope with the situation on Middle East. These policy options are: withdraw from the region, maintain status quo in the region and aggressively extend its presence in the Middle East and engage in "democratization" and "nation-building" efforts in Iraq and elsewhere in the region. Considering the aforementioned facts and research it is possible to say that the best alternative for the US would be to withdraw from the region and focus more on the internal issues. But beyond combating terrorism with more war and violence, we must first understand the causes of it.

"To stem fanaticism, we must first fight indifference to evil... We fight indifference through education; we diminish it through compassion" (Wiesel, 5). This is a simple answer, but is much more complicated than it sounds. It would be impossible to make everyone in the world happy when dealing with a country such as the United States, but understanding their position and ideas, and then dealing with it as effectively as possible can go a long way in curbing the hatred and terrorism that exist in the world. The world is definitely changing, and it must be every individual's duty to do what they can to be accepting of everyone and stop the hatred and indifference that exists. Our goal must be to do our very best to stop terrorism at its source, whether international or domestic.
