This is an area that requires a good debate. However, if you consider remarks from people like Richard Perle (not exactly the darling of the left/liberals) he too has said that the source of terrorism against the US are the Egyptians and the Saudis and to some extent Pakistan. One thing is very clear that the source of terrorism is NOT Iraq, Iran, etc.

Second, we in the west have not only done nothing to help lift the Arab populace from economic stagnation, we have actually prevented it. First by not being willing to work towards an equitable solution to the middle east problem and second by not being willing to establish normal trading patterns with countries like Iran, Syria, who have no direct beef (they do have an indirect beef due to out support of Israel and the dumping of Palestinians in their land to allow outsiders to live in what is now Israel) with us.

Even handedness, trade relations, would be good first steps. Cracking down really hard on the Israeli hardliner and settlement expansions, etc would help. At present there is not even a semblance of even handedness in the middle east.

These are just one set of views. We have no chance of killing all the muslims which would be the "ultimate"solution.
