Who said give up ? I said get your eye on the stated goal. If we are serious about stopping terrorism around the globe then we have to do specific things.

1. Stop creating new terrorists with cowboy actions like Iraq. Realize that America can not exist in peace without the rest of the world being at peace. Nation building never leads to peace. Look at Israel for example. Every arab country keeps its mouth shut because Israel was formed illegally. Iraq is viewed in the same light.

2. Stop hiring mercenary groups to do our fighting. They always come back to haunt you.

3. Foster the flourishment of poor countries. Not with 100% financial aid. Teach them how to market their products (hopefully they have some) rather than let american businesses rape the countries with no home grown businesses making money to sustain growth.

4. The US has to stop trying to change the culture of a people. Especially if that culture is of a religious nature. They have to learn on their own. The US did from slavery. They can do it as well. No outside country forced the US to give up slavery.
