How do you fight the insanity and ignorance of a suicide bomber?

There's a story out today from Russia (I guess that's what we're calling that place that collapsed) that some suicide bomber struck there with a vengeance: Suicide attack in Russia kills 17, wounds over 130 By SERGEI VENYAVSKY, Associated Press Writer; ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia – A suicide car bomber hit the central market of a major city in Russia's North Caucasus on Thursday, killing at least 17 and wounding more than 130 people in one of the worst attacks in the volatile region in years, officials said...At least 17 people, including the suicide bomber, were killed and 133 were wounded in the explosion, said Alexander Pogorely of the Emergency Situations Ministry's branch in southern Russia. He said 98 of the injured were hospitalized, many in grave condition. So they strike like this in Iraq and Iran and through the Middle East and other parts of Southeast Asia and we have our military and tanks and jet airplanes and bombs but tell me--how do you fight the ignorance and insanity of someone who can and will blow him/her self up (mostly "hims") for what they see as a "worthy cause"? How do you deal with that? How do you get people educated enough, quickly enough that they don't do this to their fellow countrymen, to their own local neighborhood/city/country? What did this guy expect to achieve, in this instance? Is he part of a larger group, pushing for some change? Fighting this mindset seems virtually impossible.
