Terrorism is a tactic. Terrorists can be countered by war in those cases where the terrorists are supported by a state or control a state. However, in many cases terrorists are not associated with a state or even a particular territory. Then, at best, you can conduct anti-guerrilla warfare, but often even that will not fully counter a terrorist group.
You can oppose them with military and police action and perhaps grind them down over time, but you also need to take actions that are not warfare, actions that reduce or eliminate the terrorists' ability to obtain new recruits and supplies. That may require development and other non-warlike actions.
