Frankly the best way to retaliate against these groups would be adopt a pro active approach to battling international terror. For too long we have simply sat back and let the attacks just come at us in a way reminiscent of the invasions through Afghanistan and Central Asia. The best way would be to carry our pre emptive strikes in PoK in such a way so as not to escalate the overall situation. Another way would be to send troops to Afghanistan and attempt to destroy the remnants of the Taliban before they reorganise to target us again. We have to realise that a proactive approach is the only way to stop these attacks. Concerning oneself with root causes is unlikely to impede further attacks especially with an unseen enemy bent on genocide.
