The government has a responsibility to protect its people - but what its doing is thinking its protecting its people when in truth it only fans the flames for more attacks in the future. Its a short term answer that hurts the long term situation.
Its sort of like that one suicide quote ("Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem") - but twisted around to say "The situation is a permanent problem with a temporary solution."
Not the best twisting of the quote but the point is, their very thought of 'protecting its citizens' happens to be leading to more of their citizens being killed, and the cycle continues.
Why think that the cycle will run itself out (unless everyone suddenly dies of course and all those associated with any emotional attachment do as well) when thats exactly what a cycle is - it keeps going. You cut the cycle to prevent it from going on and on and on and on...
