Responding to terrorism — some operational dilemmas
A dilemma, by definition, can never be resolved totally. What we should aim at is a resolution based neither on cold-blooded pragmatism nor wide-eyed idealism but one that is practical and acceptable enough to enable us to go forward in our war against terrorism.
