The fact that civilians were killed I think means little to the military mindset although they sometimes profess concern.

This absolutely can't be attributed to the "military mindset" (the United States and other Western militaries have shown themselves to be exceptionally attentive, even focused, on avoiding civilian casualties); it is part of the strategy. The military expects to take casualties and is thus trained to deal with the psychology of "terror". Civilians are heavily influenced by it.

Were we to pull out of the middle east completely, including ending our support of Israel, do you think that the Muslim terrorists would back off?

They would have overrun us and won. This certainly could never happen. If anything, this act has given many of us a deeper understanding of Israel's plight. Israel has been crying out for years from these kinds of attacks, and only now can we really comprehend what they've been going through.
