The hopeless non-sense spoken by everyone about recent terror attacks miss a single point:

We can minimize attacks, but we can’t stop them

.………

Yes we can improve intelligence, control weapons, strike an bases.  And a good strategy might improve safety, limit gun crime, prevent radicalization.

But it won’t stop it all.  As the font of much wisdom pointed out “Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.”

In case you are wondering, this was said by to the Kang^* who was Kang before there was Kang and Kodos on The Simpsons.

^*My bad, I got the dialogue in the ST:TNG episode Day of the Dove wrong. I am not worthy.
