Maybe call it "nationalism" to avoid implanted emotional implications of the word.

#5This is exactly what terrorists want: the impact of a terrorist act is, in the end, measured in money much more than in lives.
They are not going to kill that many people in the end, what they want is to make people afraid and pervert all the freedom in a country. Because what they hate is our freedom, do not forget it.
EDIT: BTW, being wrong (if I am) is a cause for downvotes? Grow up, you people.

#6We should use that money to drop bombs via drones 24/7. Eradicate them out of existence.

Errrm, and what, exactly, tells us who to "drop bombs" on?

Maybe I'll just wait a day or two for someone at the Pentagon to leak guidelines on how to provide constructive criticism of their budget.
Meanwhile enjoy this quote from Nicholas Negroponte - "Nationalism is the biggest disease on the planet. Nations have the wrong granularity. They’re too small to be global and too big to be local, and all they can think about is competing."

Even though you have a point in that all this massive expense (and more) is a win for terrorists, I don't think they "hate our freedom". If anything, they hate those that cause them pain (like every other human being). The US have playing chess with the rest of the world for decades and they're starting to pay the price. This is not a war that terrorists started because they hated anyone's freedom (why don't they target Canada, then?), but the absolutely only resource they have against a superpower that's trying to crush them (putting dictators in other countries, etc).
