We cannot defeat terrorism. It is a tactic that will be used so long as it has its desired effect. And the effect that it has had today only reenforces that it can be successful even when a specific plot has been disrupted. It will be used again and again and no amount of "spreading freedom" in Iraq will lessen it. It will only stop being used when it no longer works. When we say a collective "fvck you" to the terrorists and refuse to change our lives regardless of their threats.
I would say that even though this attempt was thwarted, it is still a victory for the terrorists. They have once again brought our airports to a standstill and spread fear throughout the citizens.
