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.

恐怖主義的本質與場域
這道題目的正確答案之所以是 (D) 政治動盪之處，是因為文章第三段明確指出，恐怖主義並非瘋子的隨機行為，而是一種高度組織化的「政治手段（political instrument）」。作者列舉了巴斯克（Basque）、波多黎各、歐洲團體、巴勒斯坦解放組織（PLO）以及伊斯蘭國（IS）的暴行，這些地區橫跨了西方國家與中東。如果只選 (A) 或 (B)，會過於片面；而這些行動的共同特徵，都是在政治利益衝突或社會秩序不穩定的脈絡下，試圖透過暴力來瓦解民主結構、摧毀民眾對政府的信心。因此，將其概括為「政治動盪之處」是最符合文意的歸納。
