Yes, but you are thinking short term, just like our government. The terrorists, or people as some people call them, didn't just wake up one day and think "lets hate the west", we gave them a reason to hate us, we provoked them. Think long term, if we stop fighting them and start talking then hopefully we can find a resolution.
If we continue down the path we are on now, then the threat of terrorism will only increase. The governments reaction to terrorism has been to restrict our civil liberties, so their reaction to an increase in terrorism would be to further restrict our civil liberties. The terrorist of tomorrow won't be a poor middle eastern teenager brainwashed by a radical, it will be intelligent middle class people who are sick of being ignored and treated like the enemy by a government that's meant to serve them. There are situations where I would become a terrorist, so I can't be bothered by it.
