I think a more practical solution is hunting down and killing terrorists and suspected terrorists.

Short term, that's a nice solution.. But until you remove the root causes of Islamic militancy, or at least give young Muslim people an alternative vision for their future.

And that can only happen through a long-term and dedicated effort to assisting some measure of economic growth and co-dependency (so business interests will innoculate us from military confrontation).

Killing terrorists is like trying to swat flies next to a stinking carcass.. Sure you kill a few and might even reduce them to annoyance level, but they'll stay around until you remove the corpse... In this case, it's an socio-economic and political corpse.
