To understand why terrorism occurs, one must understand what terrorism is. The answers above, have illustrated some very true terrorist acts, from 9/11 to the KKK's oppression of black votes in the south.
Although there is no one accepted definition of terrorism in the United States, it is recognized as the use of violence many times against civilians to create fear for normally political gains.
Throughout history there has always been terrorism. Julius Cesar's death in ancient Rome has been considered one of the first terrorist acts (of assassination). Of course the death of Abraham Lincoln, JFK, RFK, and the victims of the Manson Family could also be considered victims of terrorism.
I guess the answer to your question is that terrorism has always been. In the US, we have been much more sheltered from the acts of terrorism seen through out the rest of the world (with some notable exceptions, 1993 world trade bombing, Oklahoma City Bombing, etc), and that there is no one way to prevent it but the best way is probably through education.

We can't prevent terrorism, that's why it's difficult for Bush to fight with them.
Terrorism is an act of terror that includes violence, political issues, have no bounders, an invisible enemy on we can't fire at will.
First we have to understand it, then we'll know that to do best.

It is due to the radical islamists-the young ones-that believe like the Koran teaches. That their religion is the "correct" one. And, the extreme point of their religion, is that if a person doesn't convert to Islam, they could/should be killed. Same thing for if someone is Islamic, and leaves that religion. They are putting their lives on the line. Terrorism is a way for them to scare people-hopefully badly enough-that regular people will give in to them. It is the one "war" we in America really don't seem to understand how well to fight-Israel does, they have been dealing with this type of fight for many years. Unfortunately, many other countries are having to deal with it too. It all comes down to we should all respect one another and our beliefs-not be against someone who is different in religion. Take care.

We need to fight it by engaging in all out war against them, and not listen to the suggestions of liberals.
For example, after the 9/11 attack occurred, the planes should have left with 30 minutes to nuke the biggest main mosque in the middle east, and wiped it off the face of the Earth. I guarantee that if I were president, they would take off in a lot less time than that.
And don't listen to Rick below. Of course there are criminal groups within our borders as there always have been, and these groups need to be fought by ramped up massive police forces as internal criminals, but they are not on the huge level of terrorists who will destroy thousands of people at one time.

terrorisim is a reaction to opression,when a human is denied of his rights,noy given justice,no one listen to,he will turn to terrorist acts refecting his desperation,anger,anf furstration.
