What do you think is the best way to defeat terrorism?
How're we defining "terrorism"? Are abortion doctor killers "terrorists"? How about anti-government militias and racist groups, are those terrorists? Or is the word reserved just for religious nutjobs who're wacky for the "wrong" deity? When the word's been used to describe elementary school teachers who disagree with Republican policies, then "defeating terrorism" doesn't really look like a promising prospect.
I usually go with the FBI definition, which if read without red, white and blue glasses seems to implicate a lot of US government officials in such crimes.
