No, it takes two. Countering violence with violence is not always the only solution. Sometimes sustained violence in response (war) is the the way to go, sometimes it just escalates the original violence into something far worse and far harder to unwind. For example, and as the OP states, we may be generating far more "terrorists" than we are killing. We humans often fail to see this because we are so myopic and vengeful. We suck at seeing the big picture and taking the long view.
