Using the Just War tenets of just cause, legitimate authority, last resort, and proportionality, make an argument that justifies the use of terrorism by al-Qaeda. Looking at the distinction tenet that states that war should be directed towards enemy combatants, and not non-combatants, explain whether or not al-Qaeda is justified for targeting American civilians if it has declared America to be the enemy.

Many times in an interview an employer will ask you to tell them what makes you the best choice for a job, what your interests are, perhaps what hobbies you enjoy, how you respond under pressure, and how well you work in a group. These questions, particularly during an interview, are something you can prepare for by thinking about who you are, and what you have accomplished.
