No, it simply does not help!  The best thing any western government can do is stop all involvement with these countries, both militarily and economically.   We are an obstacle not a help.  The insurgents see us as the problem and new ones will always pop up.  Leave them alone and let them sort out this nonsense themselves.  We are so naive to believe we solve these problems.  Sure there may be more bloodshed to begin with but after they take over and realize the western governments want absolutely nothing to do with them, they will have to modify their behaviour, and until they do WE STAY OUT!
