I Hope You Are Right

Dear Daniel,
I am a relatively new, mid-life, ernest, student of the Mid East Peace Process. Especially since 9/11.
I do hope that you are right about the current Muslim call for more Jihad against America.
You are correct in what you have said regarding the post Afganistan terrorist threats. Yet these people do regroup, are patient, and eventually strike again if they can.
Israel is militarily strong, and has WMD. But it does not stop suicide attacks.

Are we [USA] going to have to watch everyone of Middle Eastern countries within our borders to counter the threat of terrorism effectively?
