Not true. Most terrorists do not do it for fame. Do you honestly think these Terrorists in Paris did it for the infamy?<p>I remember after 911 an interview on the radio with an ex IRA terrorist who served 20 years in prison for what he did. He was asked if Terrorist&#x27;s generally think what they are doing is right. He said, absolutely not. The more correct description of their state of mind is &quot;there is <i>no other choice</i> but this&quot;.<p>He said that his terror cell had been driven to do what they did because every other avenue to seek redress was systematically closed. He said if you wan&#x27;t to stop terror attacks you have to keep the dialogue, keep the political solutions open. You have to have political solutions. You have to move towards other solutions. You have to keep all the options open  and you have to address the very real injustices that these people are fighting for.<p>It&#x27;s when they have absolutely nothing left, but to die... that&#x27;s when you have a problem. And despite what the government and security apparatus promise, there is NOTHING any government can do EVER to completely protect it&#x27;s citizens from such attacks.<p>I&#x27;ll sum up with another parable. A Buddhist monk explained to his students that the world was covered in sharp stones that could cut our feet at any time. Was it possible to wrap the entire earth in leather, so that we could walk safely apon it? Of course not. So instead we wrap our feet in leather and it protects us from all the sharp stones in the world.<p>Likewise, in this Universe you will find infinite enemies. It is impossible to wrap all their hearts in kindness to protect us from them. So instead we wrap our own heart in kindness, and that protects us from all enemies.
