      "title": "Combating Terrorism: Are There Lessons to Be Learned from Foreign Experiences?",
      "summary": "As the United States braces for possible repeated incidents of international terrorism in the United\nStates, there may be lessons to be learned from the experiences of other countries which have suffered\nprolonged onslaughts of terrorism. Other countries have had differing results using approaches now\nemployed or suggested for U.S. policy. While none of the four approaches discussed here appears\nto have worked in all cases, none can be excluded for that reason; each case is uniquely instructive. \nThe utility of each approach, as well as of specific measures, can depend on a variety of factors,\nincluding the nature and organization of a terrorist group, public attitudes toward it, and the depth\nof support for it. This paper looks briefly at some cases where judgments have been made on the\neffectiveness of different policy measures, and raises questions relating those outcomes to the current\nsituation.",
