What do terrorists want?

Terrorist acts against people in cities of world powers are a daily occurrence now. Let's face the facts: As long as things remain the same, these attacks will never end, because there is no hope of stopping all the people who want to create chaos.

I would have to assume the people in power of the major governments know why terrorists keep on making their attacks. They wouldn't be just attacking for no reason. I sense there are two basic choices: Ignore the demands of whoever is responsible and continue fighting the terrorism (a very costly and never-ending choice) or yield to whatever demands they have once and for all and return to a state of peace (the choice that could possibly end the terror).

Seems like an easy choice to me.
