&gt;&gt;ou want to remove the terrorist impulse from all of humanity forever? That&#x27;s... ambitious.<p>No, the goal should be to improve the living conditions, infrastructure, access to education, etc of impoverished regions where terrorist sentiment typically appears and festers.<p>To give an extreme example, there is a reason the Saudi royalty aren&#x27;t walking into the middle of a marketplace and blowing themselves up: they already have everything they want&#x2F;need. I&#x27;m not saying we should make everyone royalty, but that there is a clear correlation between standard of living and terrorist sentiment.
