1. Stop screwing with other countries. No false wars, no state engineering, no exporting democracy.

2. Stop protecting the terrorist regime in Saudi Arabia.

3. Stop trying to control the world. There's no hegemony without blowback.

4. Stop being a safe haven for laundered money from the third world (looking at you City of London). Let that money be invested in third world infrastructure.

5. Stop toppling secular dictators. Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad, Bhutto, Mossadegh... spot the pattern here. This needs to stop.

Start with these 5, then we'll move on. You are making the mistake of thinking that the US gives a shit about terror, btw. Read about how foreign policy makers (people like Kissinger, Brzezinski, Stowcroft) think. They don't give a shit about blowback, they want to maintain hegemony. Terror is just a useful tool to keep public opinion in check.

For more on point 1, see Bitter Lake by Adam Curtis http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02gyz6b (if you are in the UK, if you are outside there are likely other ways to see - http://m.imdb.com/title/tt4393514/ )
