I was advocating education. TP said you can't fight terror. I am arguing that you can fight terror, which is simply being very afraid, by replacing it with a more superordinate thought structure that offers the courage to stand up for a life that offers more value than that offered by the terrorist (living in fear). At bedtime daddy tells his little girl that the boogyman is an imaginary wimp; So that she may replace her fear with this thought of and belief in, the courage and strength of something better. "I see your point - advocate rising above using a gross tactic, terrorism, to react to a specific policy. But I don't see how you practice that except from a bully pulpit." Fighting the terrorist can only be done by capturing or killing him.
