We can do this, but I think it also has to be in conjunction with the Administration scaling back its rhetoric on "terror".

The rhetoric alone leads to two related, but dissimilar results:

1) Wannabe copycat "terrorists" are motivated to exploit what they see as an obvious source of fear, despite not having the resources to plan or implement their desires.

and 2), Law enforcement is held to a standard that they cannot meet, so they sometimes panic when confronted by anything outside their comfort range.

The last six years have been badly mishandled. We've known about the Copycat Effect for a long time, but for political reasons have ignored it when it comes to "terror".

We have met the enemy, and he is us.
