Do you believe the article is persuasive and explains some terrorist behavior?
Would you fund further research in this area? Why or why not?
Do you agree or disagree with Blakeley that a definition of terrorism should include the possibility that there can be state terrorism? Why or why not? What about the country you live in?
If you lived in Syria (or any other country where a dictator was attempting to cling to power by killing opponents), what would your definition of terrorism be?
Does Blakeley adequately source her material, particularly some of the more inflammatory charges made? Was it convincing?
