Why the United States keeps failing to stop terrorism

Why the United States keeps failing to stop terrorism | The Liberty Conservative:
"The threat of terrorism has been a growing problem.
Even though an attack of the magnitude of 9/11 has not been replicated, the idea that terrorism has diminished is ignorant.
Shootings connected to terrorist organizations have occurred both domestically and in foreign countries like France.
The shootings in San Bernardino, California, and Paris, France both included explosives, as well. Now this weekend, a series of explosions in New Jersey and New York have investigators concerned a terror cell is alive and well in the two states.
Image result for Why the United States keeps failing to stop terrorismDespite the fact that we’ve deployed our military in foreign lands, have drones regularly hitting foreign targets, and are spying on people across the country, terrorist activity is continuing to occur and with a higher frequency. 
Why?
It is actually largely due to our foreign policy – although our domestic policy plays a part in it, as well.
The common denominator across the board is ignorance among American leaders.
Military intervention abroad has actually destabilized the region further, resulting in the rise of ISIS and the increase in terrorist activity.
Terrorists use the invasion of those considered infidels as a recruitment tool. It also uses the images of their people slaughtered by foreign invaders as a recruitment tool.
Thus, Saddam Hussein’s removal might have stopped a tyrant, for example, but it arguably created a worse situation.
...It also doesn’t help that the United States government has continued to aid countries with known ties to terrorist activity.
While the government has armed militant extremists in the past, they continue to aid countries like Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has connections to the 9/11 hijackers and has funded terrorism for years.
Saudi Arabia is also currently bombing hospitals and medical facilities as part of its campaign against Yemen, killing many innocent men, women, and children.
...If the United States is to get serious about stopping terrorism, it needs to stop treating innocent Americans like terrorists and start treating terrorists like terrorists. 
The government needs to stop aiding countries like Saudi Arabia that fund terrorism and engage in terrorist activity in other countries. 
Until this happens, terrorism will continue."
