    The thing with terrorism is the moment you show weakness they will keep exploiting that and repeating what works.

      You don’t fight terrorism with bombs though. You fight it by humanizing their victims, using police raids by high level units capable of reducing collateral damage, and fulfilling the needs of the population that feels oppressed enough to create terrorists.

      True, but how you show strength to counter that matters, especially to the civilians caught in the middle.
