I completly agree - when we have done that then we have obtained utopia. As long as there is freedom of choice the battle between good and evil you might say we will have terroism -- the willful act of violating the natural instinc and order of civilized humanity.
I know what you are saying, and I agree that we will never defeat "injustice" as you may call it. But...we have to be careful when grouping terrorism in with the rest. The reason being that terrorism is like facism; the word means absolutely nothing. While Sarah's definition of terrorism in her short essay is one small section of the USG's definition, in reality there is no real definition of terrorism. The UN's definition is 12 pages long, for example. This is because nobody can agree on what actually constitutes terrorism. If you go with the three sentence definition, then every government in the world is a terrorist organization. Generally, historically speaking, both sides in most conflicts call the enemy three things: facists, terrorists, and murderers. Who wins the conflict decides which one the history book records as the good guys.

That's what I mean when I say we can never defeat "terrorism."
