Terrorism is based on the mistaken belief that a small number of violent acts that target symbolic and meaningful places and events important to the adversary can enable them to achieve political goals. secondly, terrorists always underestimate the strong revulsion and disgust that the majority of human beings feels toward acts of political violence. the article makes the following argument: in a short paragraph, explain the argument that the author is making. do you agree or disagree with his claim?

Although I haven't actually read the article, I can obviously predict that the author is AGAINST terrorism.

I agree with this claim. The point of terrorism isn't to kill people, it is to get a political vantage point. Often times, it is used to spread a specific ideology, and can also be in used in a way to create fear in the population. It isn't expected of a society to retaliate so massively, to a terrorist attack. Terrorist attacks, are a way to be AGGRESSIVELY put society into fear, and this gives them an advantage in terms of political and economic negotiations.
