terrorism would win in the short term, but they would lose in the long term
Why?
because they are indiscriminate
for the US, only some islamic people are considered "bad"
for them, everybody with a different religion is considered "bad"
therefore, terrorists could nuke Washington DC, but the US could not nuke Mecca
in the short term, indiscriminate warfare could work, but in the long term it would only reduce their support and ability to continue the war
therefore, i believe that the US should not detain everybody that has even the slightest ties to terrorism, but instead treat convicted terrorists horribly. A firring squad is too good for them, they should be executed with even worse methods
