I would start with trying to get a better definition of terror. The attack on the USS Cole, no matter how horrendous, would not make it in my definition. A US warship in a foreign port is a target for asymmetric warfare. Institute protection measures at ship level.

I can agree with that.

Similarly the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor would not be considered terrorism by most people's definition. That doesn't mean we didn't or shouldn't go after the Japanese hard after the attack. The attack was an act of war.
