Nice article indeed. and it's kind of controversial. Not following news may decrease the effect of this kind of terror attacks. However human nature can not ignore death easily.
This kind of terror attacks can not hurt society itself with killing few but hurt its morale and motivation. It is kind of an infectious virus of hatred, and it spreads millions to a single attack by a single terrorist. I sincerely feel sorry for victims.
It is. It's a terrible virus, but we might not have the cure but we have the power to decrease the effects as you say.
