That's not a guarantee at all, unless your an old schooler, locked in an old school way of looking at solving our problems. The facts of the war on terrorism is that we didn't have a Middle Eastern terrorism problem until we started stationing troops there, mainly to protect the oil supplies. The attacks started in Leabanon, and continued after the first Gulf War, and culminated with the 9/11 attacks. The obvious solution to the problem is to solve our oil dependence problem (something we're now capable of doing with emerging technologies) and to force a settlement of the Palestine issue. If we did that and disengaged from the Middle East, our terrorism problem would abate to the state it was before we became so involved. That's the kind of forward-thinking that we need. I don't really think Kerry has the balls to kick our oil habit and without billions from Isreal to make them settle, but at least he'd try a new approach. It is the conservative approach of oil dependence and support for oil and militarization of the Middle East that has led us down this road. It's time to try something new.
