I don't see how backing down from them and letting them win is a good solution. Terrorists are everywhere, including the USA. Terrorists are not classified by a specific race or religion. If you were to back down to one terrorist organization, another one somewhere else will think you will do the same for them. The war on terrorism is WWIII in my opinion. It is a new kind of war, but a serious one nonetheless.

In a way, you're right. However, I don't see it being a war you can reasonably win. As long as palestinians are living in misery, getting their innocent relatives shot dead by Israeli soldiers, there'll be a supply of people wanting revenge more than they value their own lives.

Now, assuming that there is an endless supply of new terrorists, can you ever win against terrorism?


The only way I can see of winning would be to cut off the supply, i.e. stop making people want revenge. And that would mean in some way giving in to their demands, fixing whatever is making them unhappy.
