Paying attention to the grievances of terrorists may be an oversimplified solution. I agree that in many cases this reaction is always preferable to violence. However, there are times when the grievances are can’t be appeased by the government. The case and point being the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In addition, democracies can’t simple change their policy at any threat of violence or the whole system upon which democracies functions. The system in place is designed to deal with the grievances of the people. Through methods change occurs. Change resulting from an act of terrorism only legitimizes the procedure and promotes violence.
