Until the world declares war on militant Islam, more of these attacks will be coming. Terrorism needs to be targeted, sure, but the root of it must be as well. As long as this is not targeted, it won't matter how many terrorists are killed or captured.

And the world must have a unified policy condeming with the same harsh words terror that happens in Europe or in Israel. They wish the terrorists are caught when they bomb their own countries, but when it happens in Israel, they call for the end of the "cycle of violence."

The world must also remember that Al Queda is not the only terror group that must be destroyed. There are many other ones. Victory against the ideology of militant Islam must be achieved as well.

I completely agree, militant Islam is the force behind all this and al Qaeda is just one major 'militia' in the war.

Whenever an attack occurs, people start talking about al Qaeda. There are many more dangerous groups as Israelis well know. Most of them hate the US.

Beyond that even, one does not have to be a member of any group to be a terrorist operative. There are literally millions of Muslims who have been brainwashed to hate the West. When Osama or Zawahiri put their tapes out to the world, all Muslims hear them, and many long to join the jihad. Spontaneous attacks by small unknown groups or even lone individuals would be seen as part of the overall jihad and welcomed by al Qaeda. As far as I know, there is no license or membership card required to blow up innocent people...one merely needs the martyr mindset and the hate.
