"It should also serve as a warning that there is no way that these terrorists can be reasoned with."

And what do you propose; do you think they all can be killed, disarmed, incarcerated or contained by force? There are a lot of them and they "swim among the innocent" as Mao would say.

I personally doubt armies and ordinance and saying "bring it on"will solve the problem. IMO some intelligent evaluation of the root causes and motivation and then efforts to eliminate the same will result in more peace.
