From what I have been able to understand from the news and reading this forum, there are groups of people in the world who believe they are in a holy war (a religious jihad) with the U.S and the west (the great satan). They feel justified in bombing and killing civilians just as many nations at war have done in the past.
I don't think it will be possible to appease this religious fanaticism with what they percieve as good actions and understanding from the west. The only way to keep from getting killed is to declare all out war against this stealth enemy. I am not smart enough to know how to do this but I think it would probaby involve much clandestine activity with some very talented people working as spys. Surely we in the west can muster up some people capable of taking the war to the groups responsible. Something like some well placed bombs of our own placed in their training camps, etc..
Just like any other war the decision as to who the enemy is and which targets to hit will necessarily have to be made by the military. I have a hard time believing that Great Britain and the U.S. are in the dark as much as it appears in the news reports in regards to who is responsible for these attacks.
