The only silver lining is that as they overplay their hand with more attacks, we become less sensitive to it and hopefully, less reactive and more thoughtful in our responses

Sorry, but this almost Chamberlain type thinking is just wrong. Lunatics don't go away if you ignore them.
A group of degenerates continue to kill innocent civilians in the name of some BS religion, and you think we should train ourselves to simply ignore them, hoping that the idiots are motivated mostly by the publicity?
And yes, while the public (those living in areas of the world not experiencing these attacks anyway) becoming desensitized is likely unavoidable, it is not a silver lining; it is a bloody sad state of affairs.
