We are supposed to wage war against Terrorism - but exactly what we
are fighting against in this war, there is nearly no consensus
about. And, much worse, nearly nobody cares about this conceptual
disaster - the main thing being, whether or not you are taking
sides with the good guys. This volume is an analytical attempt to
end this disaster. What is Terrorism? Are terrorist acts to be
defined exclusively on the basis of the characteristics of the
respective actions? Or should we restrict such actions to acts
performed by non-state organisations? And, most important, is
terrorism already by its very nature to be morally condemned? But,
having a clear idea of what Terrorism is, would be only the
beginning. Rational moral assessment still needs two further
components: The relevant facts; and the relevant values and norms.
Now, in a field where systematic disinformation has been even
proclaimed to be the official policy, facts are obviously very hard
to get at. This volume is mainly interested in Ethics: What's wrong
with Terrorism? And what is morally right or morally wrong,
respectively, with all the different means of Counter-Terrorism?
What are the moral boundaries for waging war agains terrorism? What
are the right ways of dealing with terrorists? And what about the
alleged anti-terrorism wars on Afghanistan and Iraq? With
