You want to remove the terrorist impulse from all of humanity forever? That&#x27;s...ambitious.<p>But let&#x27;s take at face value that that&#x27;s possible, you&#x27;d still have to assume that all terrorists have a) some rational set of demands; and b) even if they did, that we&#x27;d be willing to meet those demands.<p>What ISIS believes is <i>incompatible</i> with Western democracy. There is nothing we could do to eliminate their desire to attack us that wouldn&#x27;t mean our own destruction, anyway.
