I believe that international terrorism is a modern form of warfare against liberal democracies. I believe that the ultimate but seldom stated goal of these terrorists is to destroy the very fabric of democracy. I believe that it is both wrong and foolhardy for any democratic state to consider international terrorism to be “someone else’s” problem. If you believe as I do, then you must join me in wondering why the community of liberal democracies has not banded together more effectively to oppose these international murderers and to loudly and vigorously expose those states which cynically provide terrorists with comfort and support. One of the great cover-ups of this century is the effort by Western governments, who know better, to muffle the facts about Soviet bloc support for international terrorism. I am not talking about individual acts of madmen. I am talking about highly organized groups with international connections and support who systematically rely on major acts of violence as a political instrument. I am thinking of the Basque and Puerto Rican terrorists, the European terrorist groups, the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) attacks, or threats of attack, against moderate Arab states which might be motivated to support the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement and the inhuman IS (Islamic State) atrocities. Such acts of terrorism are part of a broad campaign aimed at the disintegration of democratic societies through undermining the confidence of their citizenry in their governments.

請回想一下文章第一段的最後一句話，作者提到若將恐怖主義視為「某種特定對象的問題」時，他使用了哪些強烈的負面形容詞（如 wrong 或 foolhardy）來評論？這反映出他認為民主國家在面對這種威脅時，應該採取什麼樣的責任態度？

責任共擔的民主防衛觀點
在文章的第一段末尾，作者明確指出：「任何民主國家若認為國際恐怖主義是『別人的問題』（someone else's problem），都是錯誤且愚蠢的（wrong and foolhardy）。」這句話直接呼應了選項 (C) 的內容，強調了在面對恐怖主義時，沒有一個民主國家可以置身事外，必須具備「命運共同體」的意識。這也是作者在文中不斷呼籲各民主政體應團結一致（banded together）的核心原因。
