They only have to be successful once. We have to be successful at stopping them 100% of the time. Some day, some where, they’ll get it right and the amount of damage will not be overrated.

Ultimately, that depends on your definition of overrated.

It’s a loaded and emotional issue, but I think it’s worthwhile to note that the anguish and difficulties caused by terrorism on a global scale is far out of proportion to the number of deaths from it.

This may change if they get access to nuclear weapons.
