Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The outcomes that can be considered part of the record of success for the option of violent coercion as a counterterrorist measure are "specific deterrence against a specific adversary" because it can dissuade them from future attacks and "demonstrations of national will" as it can exhibit the government's capacity to use force to protect its citizens. The option of "annihilation of civilian supporters of terrorist movements" is not a legitimate or ethical option and is not considered a success in counterterrorism.
