Why don't we care about this? I mean as a nation, or as an international community? Is it because these are women and the leaders of the industrialized world are men? Is it because they are black and the North American and European nations with the resources to address this situation are mostly not black? Is it because they are poor? Is it because they have no oil?
I don't think we're really interested in stopping terrorism.
Here is the US code definition of terrorism:
Sec. 2331. Definitions

(1) the term ``international terrorism'' means activities that--
(A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life

State;
