 washingtonpost.com: Terrorist Logic: Disrupt the 2004 Election
The objective of terrorism is not so much to strike a blow against a particular physical target as it is to strike a psychological blow against a target audience.
Rather, we are locked in a conflict in which the "casualty count" extends to the psyches damaged, the emotional wounds inflicted, the social and political unrest that is fomented.
This in turn suggests that while terrorists must be combated, a measured public response is more effective than an impulsive or ill-conceived military response (however emotionally satisfying) that is likely to produce unnecessary collateral damage, political or otherwise.
