This quote right here divides the two different sides and how they think..

"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

I, personally, side with the belief that we should never go into any type of war or altercation without taking every single possible effort to solve the issue diplomatically. Any caring, humane person should follow through this process.
The world hates us because "we" have been acting on the other thought process of... if the "enemy" takes action against us then we must retaliate immediately. No questions asked... no hesitations. And in order to avoid any attack again, we should just attack attack and attack some more until any possible group or person interested in attacking us is destroyed.
The problem with that second thought process is... the amount of people wanting to attack us and kill us will never, ever decline. The more we attack without understanding, without diplomacy, or humane reasoning... the more the entire world will hate us. The more enemies we will raise.
It will be a scary, scary world sooner than later if those with the second line of thought continue to stay in office.
