LA Times Advice: Surrender To Terrorists

Yep, we shouldn't even try to prevent it.

Mumbai should remind us -- again -- of the folly of the Bush administration's "war on terror." Terror is an emotion, and terrorism is a tactic. You can't make "war" against it. Even if meant as mere metaphor, "the war on terror" foolishly enhanced the terrorist's status as prime boogeyman, arguably increasing the psychological effectiveness of terrorist tactics. Worse, it effectively lumped together many different organizations motivated by many different grievances -- a surefire route to strategic error.

And please ignore any evidence to the contrary, such as the US has been terrorism free since the inception of the war on terror and Europe has not suffered a terrorist attack since 2005.
