They aren't trying to expand their empire (the Islamic world) just take back power from what they view as imperialist and colonial powers (the West). Instead of looking within and seeing their problems realistically, they blame the West. 50 years ago, this may have been a viable excuse, but there's no reason that they can't reform and bring about a better life for their people now.

I agree that eliminating the terrorist groups would be a good start, but I don't see that happening (completely) in my lifetime. There's always nuts every where you go.
