I agree with you. There are MANY things wrong in MANY parts of the world. But that does not, in ANY way JUSTIFY terrorist attacks.

Only those people, who have something to say that they believe is terribly important, would commit terrorist acts. Obviously, it makes sense to actually listen to their concerns, because that just might be important.

Let's talk about the snipers. They did it, for whatever reason, but damn, it sure was important to them, wasn't it? Let's imagine they did it because they believed that the sun is really blue. Now the majority of people think that's pretty crazy. But lets say that all of the people who think the sun is blue start blowing shit up. We should start listening to them now? Why? Because they killed innocent people? That is JUST the kind of bullshit that got us into this position in the first place.

"We don't negotiate with terrorists." should be the only rule of thumb.

I don't know how to get out of the messes we're in. There are lots of things that suck in many parts of the world. But taking the "we should listen to these desperate people" is not going to make them go away, and it only encourages any group with an agenda to kill people.
