In a free society, you can't safeguard against every terrorist attack by a determined aggressor. The alternatives, totalitarianism and loss of freedom, are worse. We'll never know how many attacks are thwarted or know the effectivenees of anti-terrorist strategies - real security strategies, not made up wars or cosmetic/safetly blanket screening security. The long-term solution is not a military one but diplomatic and economic, but that does not mean there is no military component to it...
