OK, I'll take a shot at it:
It's about drawing a line in the sand. It's about saying that terrorism will not dictate another country's foreign policy. It's about open societies remaining open in the face of those who are threatened by the idea of democracy, civil liberties, women's rights etc, and wish to destroy that way of life.
Example: Terrorists successfully forced Spain to withdraw its troops from Iraq after al-Qaeda bombed Madrid. Where does it end? Did Spain make decisions based on whats best for Spain, or whats best for the Terrorists? Freedom of choice.
