Peter, I have to humbly suggest a different opinion on this sad matter.
The object of terror is not to frighten people. Well, it is indeed, but
it is the immediate effect. There is much more sinister, more long
lasting secondary effect. It is that of division of the society into
several (usually two major) groups. Each act of terror furthers the
divide and eventually the society starts chewing on itself from within,
so to say. This is when things get really horrible.
