The Taliban, PLO, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, IRA, Hamas, Blah, Blah, Blah... None of them were born after 2001 - but that is when the explosion of violence began. While North America and Europe essentially remain unchanged, the levels of violence in places where American and allies' troops operate since then went off the chart.

I understand it is a "chicken or egg" question, but that kind of correlation shouldn't be ignored when we ask the question, "How is the best way to handle Radical Islamic Terror?".
