Murderous Terrorists Kill Brits

I have nothing but the highest respect for sugarpop and her opinions. I certainly disagree with some of them, but that is irrespective of the point being made here.
My opinion remains unstated and the question I originally asked still goes unanswered. A simple yes or no would suffice.

And I respect yours. Honestly though, I thought I had pretty much anwered the question in all my other posts, and that my opinion about this was pretty clear. I will state it again though.

I think, when people are desperate enough to turn to terrorism, they do so because they are not being heard. I believe people use those kinds of tactics, usually, because they do not have the resources of the people they are fighting, so they turn to radical methods to make a point. I believe that, in places where terrorism is common, people need to find common ground or they will never solve the problem. In order to DO that, you have to be willing to LISTEN to the people who are committing terrorism. You know, sometimes, they have a legitimate beef. Both sides have to be willing to make concessions. That means sometimes you have give terrorists some of what they want in order to gain peace.

Personally, I do believe you can fight terrorism, especially using conventional military means. If you could, Israel would be the safest country on earth.
