Another advisor who failed to understand what Canute demonstrated so 
well to his advisors a long time ago. International terrorism has 
always been with us and always will. It can no more be defeated than 
prostitution, theft or anything else. 

What can be done is to control it to a minimum level society feels is 
acceptable. This trade off is at the heart of inteligent discussions 
on the subject.
