So logic would say, if they are going to attack us any way, might as well attack them back instead of just taking it.

I'm not just talking about terrorism. But in that sense, you are correct we have to do something. However, the WAY we are attacking has actually had a pretty big reverse affect so far. AlQaeda is turning away thousands and thousands of recruits because they have so much support right now (and those recruits are just moving on to other less-prominent terrorist organizations).
But what I'm really referring to is turning allies into enemies. It hasn't really happened yet, but our allies are democracies, and the majority of PEOPLE in most of these countries do NOT like what we are doing. In the long run, this will have a huge affect on our relationships with these countries.
