      The political aims of terrorists are countered when the media highlight the victim rather than the culprit. Show the cost, not the criminal.

      Terrorism—like arson, murder, and theft—exists in every era. It is not new, and those responsible are not masterminds; they are criminals.

      Terrorism can no more be defeated with a military than can thievery. It is only countered by neutering the desired outcome.

      Terrorists steal lives to buy attention. Deprive them of that, and you remove their strategic motivation.

      Terrorism is countered by making it a crime without benefit: caring for the victims, convicting the responsible, and erasing the message.

      A thousand sacrificed rights will do less to counter terrorism than a single moment of fearless discipline. Don't be afraid. Be resilient.

          A Russian puppet incites fear from the White House and intelligent counter-terrorism strategy is voiced by an American refugee in Russia.

          It makes you wonder who's really behind attacks. Money/power can be a great motivator. Create war to promote war economic.

          Do you know how many Americans have killed? Take the number you are thinking of and multiply it by thousands. We must live peacefully.

          US policy role in modern terrorism? Wahhabism grew w/ Saudi oil $. Mujaheddin funded by US in Afghan. Iraq/Syria destabilized.
