World Recognizes Terrorist Threat, Need for Cooperation

As silly as this sounds, it's actually true to a large extent. Pols and partisans in the EU do a lot of shouting (so do ours), but behind the scenes our law enforcement people seem to be communicating pretty well. You regularly read about how we caught some dirt-bag because of a tip from the Germans, and stuff like that.

"Pace equated terrorism to crime - something he said can be controlled but probably never completely eliminated. "All major cities have crime, but the police forces keep the crime rate below the level at which the normal population can live and work and prosper," he said. "And that is really, I believe, the end state for the war on terrorism."

Pace is missing something. Crime is used to rob or rape. Terrorism is a tactic used as a political tool of opposition by those in an inferior military position. When there is no reason for opposition, then terrorism will disappear.

If Pace is on a campaign to reduce terrorism to a crime, we ain't goin' no where, no way, no how.
