Title: Is Terrorism Ever Justified?
Headings: 

Content: The media attention that is derived from the act may or may not be conducive to the terrorists’ objectives. One may argue that the terrorists are justified in their actions. Those in support of the terrorist attacks would most likely also support the attackers’ cause. For example, a group of “terrorists” may bomb the white house because they believe that President Bush is corrupt and is killing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan without just cause. The terrorists believe that if they bomb the White House and kill the President, the Bush administration will fall, and the wars in the Middle East will end. There may be some who agree with these terrorists, and believe that they are justified. Take a life for a life. Bush is responsible for the deaths of thousands, so his death is warranted. However, if the supporters of these terrorist attacks would examine the consequences of the attack on the White House in more detail, they may change their stance. How do we measure the attacker’s success?
