Agree with you, perhaps the whole issue needs to be looked at from a different perspective. We need to think of ways of making the payoff to the terrorist undesirable/unpalatable.
I have no idea of how to achieve this but those into psychology might have ideas.
What precisely is the terrorist trying to achieve? Can we make it so that even if he is tactically successful , the strategic outcome is a negative?
We need to explore new concepts.
