Uhh...I don't know if you know this, but we lost Vietnam.
Once the US pulled out (Which we would've had to do eventually anyway) VietCong swooped down and pushed communism as far as possible.

We have military, and technicological power over them. Do they ingore what happen in WWI, WWII and Vietnam?

The problem I have is that while peole say that these people are just the extremists, how come the "regular' Muslims don't protest the extremists; they seem to except the violence and actually promote it? Then when they are the targets of what they consider "racism" they make excuses and say that you can't judge them by extremists...well maybe if they started demonstrating against violence (especially in other countries), they wouldn't feel so singled out. But then again, maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree with a culture where a woman is executed for being a whore if she is raped.
Oh and another reason:

You can only lose so many friends, family members, and limbs to Western guns and so many children to poverty supported by Western sanctions before you start thinking that stuff needs to change. Then there's the whole Israel thing. You know that thing where The West felt so bad about (letting Hitler get away with) The Holocaust that they gave the Jews the most sacred piece of Muslim land...and enough guns, bombs, tanks, and atomic know-how to defend it.
Who do you know that wouldn't be ready to go to war with the powers who caused me to live in such terrible circumstances?
As for "knowing who they are dealing with," I assume that you mean The United States. This would be the same country that hasn't won a decisive victory in war for over 50 years despite spending billions of dollars every year on the military. The only thing that the United States knows how to do in war is bomb the hell out of people (mostly civillians, it seems), leave an unbelievably large (and expensive) mess, completely decimate the economy, and leave when the people living in the country FINALLY get wise to what an utter travesty it has become.
Maybe they fear the superior intelligence of the United States. I know I would be absolutely terrified of a country that, after terrorist attacks, go to war and kill 600,000 people in a country that had nothing to do with said attacks.
Maybe they want a war with The West because they know they can win. Nothing, short of the extermination of damn near everyone in the middle east, could win the "war" for The West. The war would be ongoing. It would probably stop only after a few WESTERN cities lay in ruins, most likely as the result of some manner of atomic weapon. And perhaps, after reflecting on it for 60 years, the general consensus would be detonating an atomic bomb in a US city was necessary to end the war.
They wouldn't want a war with The West if The West didn't have their guns pointed at them every minute of every day.
