Start an initiative to combat the propaganda about evil America coming from the Madrassas and Imams.
Increase our Special forces and covert ops to take out known fundamentalist agitators and terrorists all over the world (these 2 tools have been sorely underutilized).
Completely reevaluate our foreign policy in the middle east with regards to our support of Israel and oppressive regimes. I personally feel that our support of the Israeli state is a large part of why we find ourselves in our current situation.
Increase funding for R&D for alternative fuels and their uses.
