the bad regimes would be taken out one by one so the source of terrorist attack would be eradicated

And which countries are that? I would be interested to see a list of which countries you believe merit being invaded, or whatever you would like done so they can be "eradicated".

You seem to believe "terrorism" is a country-specific disease, sort of like communism perhaps, which you can "eradicate" by invasion & regime change. I disagree.

As several countries before yours learned in the near past, there is only one way to effectively fight terrorism - address the issues that cause the public to support terrorists, isolate and alienate extremists from their support base.

USA and the whole world be safe, once and for all

I feel you are overly optimistic, and that is only for the "safe once" bit. I do not know what to say about your conviction that the world will be safe for all time if the US invades all countries it sees as "bad regime".

Such a foreign policy will certainly have many consequences, but increased safety for American citizens will not be one of them.
