I don't think much about it, but terrorism will always be a problem.

Terrorism, as we define it, has been found among nearly all cultures in human history. When people feel oppressed they naturally attempt to defend themselves, and if they can't do it by normal means (i.e., by organizing an army and striking back) then they'll do it by more deviant means. Notice I didn't say that people comitted terrorist acts when they WERE oppressed, but rather when they FELT oppressed. Just like a cornered mouse will try to bite a cat when it feels cornered, people will try to lash out in ways that the feel are effective, even if they have to do so in ways that are considered very deviant.
Just like the war on crime and the war on drugs, though, the war on terror can never be won because terror is a concept, not a group of people that can be conquered.

Terrorism is a complex aggravation or deviation in the social behavior.It feeds on the wrong doings[real ,magnified or imagined] and injustices to a section of society.Cast ism is only one of the aspects.Islamic terrorism has a wide base and at some stage,it has been hijacked and taken over by some people for variety of reasons.Unfortunately,it's going to persist for a long time to come.

Most people resort to terrorism when they find themselves matched against a far larger, more well equipped enemy that has little regard for their well being. It is the weapon of last resort for most.
