We?re doing it for god knows how long. It may have reduced the number of the attacks at times, but it never really stopped them. The sad truth is that if the terrorists really want to carry out an attack, eventually they?ll manage to do so.
Some say that in order to stop them; we must go down to the root of the problem, to understand why are they doing it. But how can one understand an intentional killing of innocence people? Nothing justifies it. Terrorists killed people that I knew, dear dear people, but I?m not going around trying to blow up Palestinians.
Maybe with the Palestinians and us a peace agreement will solve things out (although now it seems light years away). But regarding al-queada, it?s hard to see any solution. As long as they?ll keep holding to their ideology, what can stop them from carrying out attacks?
