The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Terrorism Definition

Terrorism works by convincing otherwise free, prosperous, and reasonably secure polities to adopt foolish and counterproductive policies.  On that score, the terrorists are still wracking up victories.  And they will continue to do so, even if they never again carry out a "successful" attack.
The author is anonymous, but the sentiment is spot on.

The goal in any fight with terrorists should be to move the fight from nation military and police forces to local police departments.  For the United Staes, a clear sign we are winning will be the elimination of the Department of Homeland Security and the elimination of some functions and the reapportionment of other functions.

UPDATE:  Here is a shorter version of the above statement, buy the same person.
Terrorism works by convincing otherwise free, prosperous, and reasonably secure polities to adopt foolish and counterproductive policies.
Christopher Preble, Vice President for Defense and Foreign Policy Studies at the Cato Institute.
