I guess Kerry wanted to make the campaign more challenging for his handlers.

Terrorism is no more than a nuisance right now...

All you need to hear to know that Democrats can't be trusted with national security.

He is correct, like it or not, terrorism can never be ended. Anyone who thinks it can be universally wiped out is one naive fool.

So human developement is a prolonged stasis, never changing course?  How can you seriously argue that?

What is the point of terrorism?  Can it bring a mandate?   Can it build economies?  Can it stop poverty and hunger?  Can terrorism end social ills?   Can terrorism stop the proliferation of WMD? Can you sit across a table from "it" and negotiate the peace?  Can it peacefully co-exist with anybody not of their ilk or persuasion?  Do terrorist add anything to the political dialogue?  If you answer yes to any of those questions, you are living in never never land.  

It does all these things potentially - by winning wars.  America won world war II partially due to a successful tactic of terrorism.  We mad e a consicous effor to slaughter hundreds of thousands of 'civilians' and made many more homeless or crippled, in order to win though fear.

Suggesting the US employed terrorism to win WWII is really an extreme view.

It was policy.

What exactly are you referring to?
