<"Terrorism is a crime under the civil law when committed by domestic terrorists; it can be an act of war when committed by foreigners.

For domestic criminals we have the FBI and police. For acts of war we have our intelligence community and the military.

In either case we have well-trained people to do the work.

If we let them do their job, and give them the support they need, the job will get done as reliably as gravity.">
