You can't stop terror. No matter how many people you can kill or "turn their hearts" there will ALWAYS be more. You can't galavant around the world stepping on toes to try to stop this great big "terror" and not piss people off.
You know the phrase "you can't please all of the people all of the time"? It's true.
A big chunk of the world hated the US before this.... now.... almost the entire planet doesn't like the US... or at least, what it's doing. Most disagree.
Are your intentions to stop terrorism or to create it?
You can't stop a reaction no matter how much you want to kill the person who might have it.

You are the one that does not seem to understand. "Terror" is not a person..."terrorists" are people...and if people continue to attack US assets...or allies the US will be killing people in perpetuity. If the CONUS is hit again...in any significant way...we will be killing people on a massive scale...or may just get tired of dicking around after a period of time and use that measure anyhow.
The US declared "TOTAL" war on Japan...and demanded an "UNCONDITIONAL" surrender. After the virtual destruction of Japan the Japanese surrendered and were meek because they had tasted the effects of winning "hearts and minds" via the termination of "hearts and minds". The Japanese did not snipe at our people...on any scale that I am aware of. Minor use of force sometimes works...but major use of force...always works.
The intentions are simple...to kill those that engage in killing Americans...or our allies...with what ever label you or anyone else cares to label them as.
