The terrorists' strategy is to draw out the "true face" of an evil and oppressive regime, so that the people will rise up against it. Of necessity, the terrorists strike innocents, because this is the only way to strike terror, and thus draw a repressive response. Whether they realize it or not, the terrorists are counting on the government they oppose being run by men just like themselves-men who believe in force, not law. So long as this is true, the terrorists win.
