"Anyone can see that terrorism is dangerous and terrorists murder people. Terrorism is morally inferior to an ethic of care - which aims to mend the suffering of others. It is even inferior to an ethic of retribution - which at least pretends to first determine the responsibility of those it kills. It is much more difficult, however, to ascertain the meaning of terrorism for the democratic citizen."
