Analysis of issues and options in efforts to curtail international terrorism, focusing on recent and current events. Key issues include (1) the legal orientation toward individualized justice when dealing with organizations, networks, and movements; and (2) the problem of balancing (a) repression of immediate threats with (b) policies aimed at the conditions under which terrorist ideologies are generated and accepted - which means going beyond 'public relations's rhetoric to real investments in alleviating the social injustices that fuel terrorism. Options for dealing with terrorism are reviewed, including monitoring confiscation, extradition, extraction, assassination, and war. The immediate goal of stopping terrorists has obvious priority, but the ultimately more important goal is to uproot terrorism. Ideologically and economically as well as militarily and diplomatically, the democracies must go on the offensive.
