You're focusing on specific instances, trying to come up with scenarios where it isn't justified. That's not what the essay is asking.
But all right; I'll leave you be about it. When you get your grade back, let me know what your instructor says, I am curious. |
Well, you're right, but...IDK. Maybe I might say yes since it says ever...not always. This essay isn't due for another 5 days.
If I say yes, what would be 3 good prongs?

Well, of course.
"Can terrorism ever be justified?"
and
"Can terrorism always be justified?"
are two completely different questions. If that's what the hangup was, then I think you're past it as long as you remember this.
I don't know if assassination is terrorism, though. I thought that terrorism was violence that makes people do what you want through fear (threat of more violence until they do); whereas assassination just directly destroys the target. Unless it's like "we're going to keep assassinating people until our policy goal is met" which is back to terrorism. If it's one specific leader you want dead, and you kill him, does it count as terrorism?

Using any form of fear to control someone is terrorism.
