1. Can terrorism be defined?
2. Do we need to be able to define terrorism?
3. Can the United States win the war on terrorism?
4. Given your answer to number three, should the United States continue its war on terrorism?
5. Aside from using military force, are there other ways to fight a war on terrorism?
