You have a point, but I'd suggest to replace "fight" with "be ok with".

  Given the way terrorism works (http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/), "being OK with it" translates pretty directly into denying it a chance to reproduce and thereby killing it.

    Right; you fight "terrorism" by being okay with "terorrists."

      Yes, because they can't hurt you in absolute terms (as pointed out by the OP) and if you fight back you just make them stronger.
