N2  - Based on a study of responses to international terror crises from 1934 to 2006 this article finds that strong democracies were the most common targets of terror attacks and were also most likely to retaliate violently, whereas weaker states whether democratic or not responded less violently. The authors conclude that strong states are less influenced by democratic constraints than weaker ones, noting that "security concerns override civil liberties when dealing with terror"
