Discussion Questions
- 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?
