Haim, i realize it won't be easy to get rid of them, and will probably take a long time (during which new challenges will arise most likely). but nevertheless i think we have to do whatever we can to remove the perceived causes - that would render terrorist acts futile, since once there are no demands left to satisfy, there can be no meaningful grass-roots support for the terrorists.
simply put, most people in the world want the same things from life, and when discontent rises to a level where it produces people prepared to engage in suicidal terrorist attacks, it stands to reason that there must be a large pool of people feeling they have nothing to lose.
in the course of the development of our Western civilization a great many horrible wars were instigated by religious fanaticism...at one point the Christian Church was an equally fertile hotbed for fundamentalist radicals as Islam now appears to be. so attitudes can and do change over time...all it takes is peace and prosperity.
