What do you propose as a solution Coffey? Certainly can't sit idly by and just wait for the next attack to take place, right?
Well do you think the "war on terror" has actually done anything? Most Americans/Brits don't even understand it. lol Some even think Saddam did 9/11 as well. Even though I believe it wasn't the AL Qaeda, but for this discussion I will discuss this as though they did do it seeing as you believe that, makes it easier so we don't get confused.
Right so to find a solution to a problem you need to study it and find out where the problem came from:
CIA originally trained these people, they created this rebellion to fight Russians, we all know this. It's common fact now and Hilary Clinton even admitted it on national news. So we gave some rebels some decent military training and supplied them with even guns etc to make a war. We eventually get the Russians out of the area. YAY! We fought back communism! YAY! (this is sarcasm) What we really did was clear the Russians out the way for a country that we wanted to put a pipeline through to pump gas out at Pakistan. The Al Qaeda/Taliban have slowed the creation of this pipeline from attacking the US embassy etc. So we needed to clear them out. Now that is the real reason for the war there. See the evidence for yourself:

Anyway after working out that. It's hard to say what to do when the government isn't thinking the same thing as you are.
But to answer your question: I would just ramp up security which is what would stop terrorist attacks. The fact is, by invading their country all we have done is produced far worse extremists. (even some Muslims in the western world have become extremist when they wheren't before, so we have produced more terrorists on home soil - can you blame them when their family is blown to bits by bombing) Sadly the majority of the American public are so deluded that they thought killing Osama would stop terrorism... Yeah cause KFC stopped making Chicken when the Colonel died...... lol
Fact is you can't stop terrorism by invading a country, you make it worse.
Let's turn this around. Imagine that your neighbour wanted to transport his shopping through your house on a conveyer belt. So he just started building it through your house. So you are like "WTF is this ****?!" So youdo what anyone would do and probably phone the police (the UN) but in this case they do nothing. What would you do then? The police is allowing this to happen! What would you do? You'd try to stop it with force! You'd probably vandalise his house as well. Then he calls up his army buddies and sticks a load of them in your house with guns and kills your family and runs over your car with their tanks.
All this time... You where classed as the terrorist! lol
The real solution is... Don't try to claim other peoples countries and interfere where it's not wanted. That's what caused this mess. Even if the attack was Al Qaeda it was provoked. Just like we are constantly provoking Iran (especially Israel) Keep poking someone for ages and they will turn around and punch you. If Iran dropped a nuke on anyone I wouldn't be surprised, not because I think that little of Iran, but because I'd be pretty angry if someone kept provoking me and especially tried to cut off my food etc. (US put sanctions on Iran)
Al Qaeda will never go away, just like extremist organizations as long as others are constantly poking their noses in where it's not needed/wanted.
Why do we not sort out Africa by the way? There is loads of terrorist groups there? There is loads of innocent people being treated far worse than in the middle east.
