Remove the reason that people resort to terrorism.

I read a study that suicide bombings mostly occur in countries that are occupied by an outside force. Once the occupiers leave, the suicide bombings stop.

Here's a good summary of that study:

That's a lot like saying most murders occur by guns with bullets in them.

That may indeed be true.  But I am sure terrorism was around looong before then.  heck primates "terrorize" each other so it is likely Terrorism has been around longer than humans have been. Even if that word we are using to define it hasn't been around that long doesn't mean we cant find history rife with examples of it.  Terrorism was around before there were countries as we know them, and before there were suicide bombers.  

I bet you couldn't find a century in human history where there wasn't terrorism.

I assume the snake in the garden East to Eden started the whole terrorist thing.   Soon afterwards the killing begin.   The French revolution was a late coming event.   Our hero Jefferson fled in terror as the Red Coats came up his drive with a writ to just take him and hang him to the nearest tree.  So it could be said he left out the back door in terror and went to France and got the revolution started  there.  Terror and evil have long out weighted good on the scales of reason.   Terror fills the thoughts of most American when they get a letter from the IRS or any taxing agency.

Only those in their graves or on Meth escape terrorism.

Is there another way?
