If the goal is to protect America from foreign (international) terrorists, then they would need to secure every part of every other nation on the planet. Half-measures like Iraq and Afghanistan are not going to do shit except piss people off and get more of them to blow up and we can't even secure Iraq and Afghanistan so our attempts are just going to hurt us.

Turn the situation around just a bit. Bank robbers, muggers, rapists, embezzlers, pirates, and kidnappers have the same training issues. There is not a country in the World that would attack another nation to catch those kinds of bad guys; we use police work and police methods to catch those perps and it works!

Why wouldn't we use the same techniques to catch terrorists, who are, after all, just another bunch of bad guys?
