EDIT: And thanks, that's a much better way of pointing out that I'm not making my point well enough rather than accusing me of trolling.
I'm not talking about motivations. If people are injured or killed by violence, the mental path they took to arrive at the point of being able to commit that violence doesn't matter to the victims.
I'm talking about society's response and the premise that there should be an expectation of zero incidents of terrorist violence. There's no expectation that there be zero incidents of murder is there? A politician can campaign on reducing violent crime, but not on eliminating it altogether; everyone would see that for what it is, an empty promise to try and garner votes. Campaigning on eliminating violence from terrorism is the same, it can be reduced, but I don't think it's possible to eliminate it while having a free and open society.
