"With all thy getting, get understanding." Try to understand what terrorism is and why it works to the extent it does.

If you insist on viewing terrorism as "us against them what ain't for us" and allow the broadcast of every car bombing or human sacrifice, and dignify criminal anti-social acts by calling this a "war" you are doing a dis-service to this country and the values you claim to want to maintain.
