Permissible consistently condemn terrorist violence

Reference no: EM133302199

Question: In 'Can Terrorism be Morally Justified?', Stephen Nathanson concludes by asking: "Can people who believe that war is sometimes morally permissible consistently condemn terrorist violence? or are such condemnations necessarily hypocritical and self-serving?." What does he mean by this? Do you agree with this conception of the moral alternative? If not, why do you disagree? If so, which stance do you take-a more critical attitude toward conventional war or a less critical attitude toward terrorism? Why? The idea here is that the author is calling into question the foundational beliefs that we have about war, justice, and terrorism and the inextricable link between them. Forum responses should be 200+ words, and include a "references" or "works cited" section.
