I would say that qualifies > as "reaction to each terrorist act". ..further, in the decades this conflict hs been going on, has this been shown to have any impact on terrorist actions? (I honestly don't know, I just can't think of any action taken in any terror areas that has improved the situation, other than in Northern Ireland were diplomacy and a recognition that, while their methods were deplorable, the Republicans and esp. the Catholics had legitimate civil and political rights complaints..) -j- -- "O! for a Muse of fire, that would ascend, The brightest heaven of invention!"
