I do NOT think you can EVER deal with terrorists. You have to kill them. They're like an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Radical treatment, or it WILL kill you!
I think the only possible caveat to that would be that you should also look at how your actions might inflame others to follow in the terrorists foot-steps. (One of my concerns with bombing a cemetary.)
Obviously, some will fall to the terrorists brain-washing propaganda. Our policy cannot be determined by giving in to terrorists, or potential terrorists.

Also, education would be a key issue in fighting such cancer. If they are smart enough to see through the terrorists propaganda, the next generation may be averted.
