Terrorist acts aimed at tourists seem to have become more common. Almost every week new attacks are reported. For example in Spain Basque fringes are trying to get independence by attacking hotels and tourist attractions.
    Why do some fringe groups want to massacre tourists, who don't usually have anything to do with the things the fringes are promoting? Terrorist attacks frighten tourists and they start avoiding countries where they must fear for their lives. That endangers an important source of government revenues, namely tourism. Tourists bring funds to the countries they visit, and if they stop coming, the country loses income.
    Terrorism is a powerful weapon, but it's a totally immoral way of trying to affect things. It often causes some kind of revenge and isn't good in the long run. In my opinion negolation is the best way of making a change. You don't have to go to extremes to be heard. A mature conversation will do the thing.
