Is it actually a given that the prominence of terrorists is simply an inevitable fact of life, a phenomenon that has no cause and no solution, and that we have no choice but to simply accept it? Is it actually true that they have no actual cause, represent no idea, have no specific aims, no ideology, no picture of what they want the world to look like? Is it actually true that their existence can be fully explained by purely material or historical factors, such as economic conditions, wars, foreign influences or the ratio of young males to young females in a given nation? It sucks that a bug caused a number of innocent people to fear for their lives. But this wider question can't be ignored - what could Facebook do alone if it were specifically targeted? People would still be fearing for their lives. Important problems are not solved by ignoring or papering over fundamentals.
