I agree that the responses have been getting better, but unfortunately, the shock value of such brazen attacks and the adverse publicity fallout remains as potent as ever in favor of the terrorists. We must do more to prevent such attacks from happening in the first place, to be just as effective as the responses after such attacks.
That's the whole dilemma with these guerrilla warfare tactics.
The enemy chooses the time, place and force. You can't predict it with any assurance. All you can do is 'guess'. An intelligence report is a calculated guess. Daily, hundreds of alerts are issued, some more serious than the others. Many days of the week, these alerts turn out to be false. But one sticks out and the attack happens.
In this war, all you can do is be prepared. After first contact, you take the situation by the scruff of the neck and suffocate it.
To eliminate it altogether, one has to go into the badlands of NW, which our nihari eating construction worker at PM House doesn't want to do.
