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.

思路引導 VIP
若要推論一個組織的「終極目標」，我們除了看他們做了什麼，更要看這些行為對受害者內部心理產生了什麼長期的影響。請你仔細閱讀文章的最後一句話，看看作者認為這些暴力行為最終是想在「公民」與「政府」的連結之中，植入哪一種特定的負面情感？

恐怖主義的政治動機
這道題目的正確答案是 (C) 摧毀西方民主國家公民的信心。從文章的結尾我們可以觀察到，作者明確指出恐怖主義是一場廣泛的運動，其目標在於透過「削弱公民對政府的信心（undermining the confidence of their citizenry in their governments）」，進而導致民主社會的瓦解。這與第一段提到的「摧毀民主的結構（destroy the very fabric of democracy）」遙相呼應，構成了一個連貫的論證邏輯。
