It's passed 01:00 AM here in Sweden, and I'd better try to get some sleep.
Now that I have a green light, I am too tired to compose an understandable
answer. :o)

For tonight, I only repeat what I said before:

No, I don't have the answer to this. All I know is that the circle of
increasing violence must be broken, and the side that breaks it will be the
true heroes. If it isn't broken, we may see the dawn of WW3.

By that, I did not say that the US "should simply ignore these terrorists
and hope they go away." That was your interpretation of what I said.

I seriously doubt you will come up with a good enough reason.  They aren't going away,
that's obvious, or this wouldn't have happened.

It is utterly frustrating to read opinions that I strongly disagree with,

There is no way to break the circle of violence short of annihilating the
fanatics.  Ignoring them and not fighting back does not seem to slow their attacks
down at all.

If NOT fighting them doesn't stop their attacks (as has been shown to date), then
hopefully fighting them, and eliminating them, will.  There may be more lives lost
in the process of fighting them, but the total lives lost may be lower in the end.
