| they aren't necessarily trying to kill all of you, not yet. by killing a few (as compared to the total population) and the methods and aparent lack of logic/understanding means that they have done a pretty good job of terrorising the population.
yes they have other goals, they are long term. the purpose of terrorism is to cause terror. simple. hard to stop.

If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
