Basically terrorist strategies are blind alleys but it takes them decades to discover this.
Not necessarily so. Israel was founded with the strategic help of terrorist attacks, and czarist russia was weakened in decisive spots before the revolution could take place.
The tragedy of most modern terrorism, however, is the terrorists' claim of being "spearhead of the nation/people" without the nation/people actually wanting to be spearheaded. This is the great difference between the Hamas, which enjoys a large popular support, and the ETA/IRA, who are a bunch of anachronistic blockheads.
