Terrorist Droning

As people who are terrified by terrorist attacks often forget, terrorism by a military organization is a purely military tactic. Military tactics have defined goals to which are allocated certain resources.  The terrorism is done for a specific end.  It is not done for its own sake.  To combat it, we need to understand what the end might be, so we don't end up being manipulated by terror, which is the point of terror as a military strategy.

One way to understand how it works is to look at a situation where it did work; an episode when it was an effective military strategy.  And one of the most famous in recent years was in 1946, when a Jewish terror attack on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killed 91 people and changed the nature of the conflict in Palestine.
