Many terrorists are well-educated, highly committed, and good at planning (at least the leaders, anyway). Our side has to win 100% of the time to prevent attacks, while terrorist organizations only need enough left to try again. Don't underestimate them, but don't think they can't be defeated either.
In responding to an attack in progress, the best you can do is mitigate the damage. Sometimes that will be a tremendous change, sometimes not. Prevention is best, mitigation is decent, and failure is just that.
