Which criteria of adequacy for a moral theory does the following theory fail to meet? A theory that says that murdering innocent people is morally acceptable.
James K.
Consider the following case and respond to the prompts in your initial post. Imagine you are an Irish clan leader in Northern Ireland. You witnessed the British Army kill six of your cousins, your youngest brother, and numerous members of your community. You decide to retaliate in an attempt to remove the British forces from Ireland. You target the British military with pipe bombs and random shootings and are credited with many deaths. However, you discover that this does not bring about the desired consequences, so you begin targeting random, innocent British citizens and plan to continue until your demands are met. When you initially only target soldiers... Is this killing morally justified? Can you be considered "at war" with the British government, or are you necessarily a "terrorist"? When you begin targeting innocent British civilians... Is this killing morally justified? Are you necessarily a "terrorist"?
