How does a country win a war on terror? What is terrorism? Isn't it a bunch of frustrated people lashing out against a power that's too great to fight with conventional warfare? Can we stop it by killing all of them? I suppose. But then wouldn't other people in that area of the world think that's a bad thing and wouldn't they be prone to lash out against us as well?
Are we trying to discipline terror? Will it go into the corner until it comes out reformed?
Are we being fair? Setting an example? Living the high ground? Do we know better? Would we be the terrorists if someone took over our country and tried to control our part of the world? Do the people in power ask these questions?

seven-letter Downs. The black squares make regular and upside-down smiley
faces...
