Garrett asked if "WE could use reason" (emphasis mine), not whether
the terrorists do, or could.  To elaborate -- according to my
interpretation, I hasten to add -- he was encouraging us to use our
collective intellectual faculties to figure out the root causes of
terrorism, and then, equipped with that knowledge, develop preventive
strategies.
