Terrorism - Is It Worth It?

I really don't understand terrorism. I don't see the point of it. I don't recall any case in history where terrorists have got what they want with their bombing campaigns.
After 9/11, did the US say, "Right, okay, you win. We'll adopt Sharia Law and all worship Islam?"
After 7/7, did the UK say, "Oh dear, you've beaten us - we'll do what you say from now on."
So, what's the point of terrorism? It's just men blowing themselves up, leaving behind wives and children, and really achieving nothing. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I can't imagine their wives being too happy about why they're doing it. These men are promised 50 virgins in heaven for their sacrifice. Surely their wives must be thinking, "So, am I not woman enough for him? Maybe I should spit in his dinner."
There have been some more suicide bombings in Afghanistan this morning. The Taliban have claimed responsibility. But why do it? It's their own country, their own people and property. It's like keying your own car, or driving a truck into your own front door. I really don't understand it.
It doesn't even work anyway. The UK populace were certainly not terrorised by the 7/7 bombings. The next day, they were all out there again, waiting for buses and the tube, and still complaining that they were late.
As for what they did in Scotland, they obviously didn't do their homework first. The Scottish are much too hard to succumb to terrorist attacks. To illustrate this point, just look at what happened when they tried to bomb Glasgow airport: The terrorist was on fire, and one of the Glasgow men beat him up. Talk about adding insult to injury! The bloke's in flames and there's some big Scottish guy punching him in the face.
You could set a bomb off right next to a Scotsman and he would just look at you and say, "Is that the best you can do?" Then he'll beat the crap out of you.
So, terrorists, please give it up. It's not working.
