The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political goal and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets; they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets or buses is not the goal; those are just tactics.

The real point of terrorism is not the act itself, but our reaction to the act. And we're doing exactly what the terrorists want. View quote
