Do you think terrorism is an absolute moral nono?

There are a few acts which most moral codes seem to hold reprehensible. Attacks on children, the infirm, schools, bona fide religious structures, and hospitals seem to fit the bill.

I certainly can see the next question you will ask coming down the road, and it is a good one: "Would we, as a presumptively moral society, countenance the kinds of acts of terror we see being done against us and our friends if we were as similarly aggrieved as the terrorists claim to be?" I think this is the question you may have wished to ask, since it requires us to think of the outer limits of the kind of conduct in which we are willing to engage.

But since I beat you to it, what is your response to my question? vbg
