to me, the way to fight terrorism is to not be afraid. terrorism just isn't a significant danger - you are more likely to die by any number of weird events than in a terrorist attack. moreover, 3000 people died in 9/11. that many children die from malaria every day. just taking the painting from those towers and selling them would have provided enough money to save many thousands of lives.
i think terrorism exploits a weakness in our society and that we need to deal with that. at least address it. are suicide bombers inspired by religion or a desire to be famous? an attack kills a few dozen people and the proper response is using millions of dollars worth of military crap to flatten some other part of the world? what about building a hospital or creating scholarships for syrian girls? now, i'm not saying this will deal with rogue governments, but instead as a response to terrorism. just pay it minimal attention. don't look.
