Although I agree with the sentiment that it is important to study all the reasons why terrorists are after us, I think it is ridiculous to believe that some can be negotiated with. This is waffling. Once you start to negotiate, people realize that they can get anything they want if they just threaten to do something crazy enough. There is no compromise in a suicide bombers mind. Is there? I mean really. Terrorism is not a form of negotiation or compromise, it is the result of a breakdown and complete dismissal of political means to acheive goals. If you can catch these causes long before they turn into terror, then compromise can and has been acheived, however, once terror is something that a group is willing to resort to, they have shown they no longer have the will to compromise and have committed suicide both figuratively and in many cases literally.
