Iraq war and how to fight it

I've been reading this book and it has become clear to me that our country is not doing something it should.

We do this whole war on Iraq thats all well and good I personally have no problems with it, but if you do oh well, go protest or something. However through our war we are doing nothing to stop the influx of new recruits. There should be a major PR campaign going on worldwide. The biggest grievance the Muslim people have is that we are big and powerful and we are not them. When I say not them I also mean that we have freedom of religion, and are not Muslim. This might sound pretty fucking stupid, but somehow getting across the image that they could be powerful to if they went to work at it instead of some of their best minds joining the jihad against us, they might not be so willing to try and destroy us. Or something along those lines. I highly doubt that alone would work, but it might be able to help stem the support from all the Muslim peoples throughout the Middle East.
