Title: Conclusion: terrorism and the ethics of war
Abstract: In writing this book, I have focused on a centrally important but relatively narrow issue: the status of civilians in circumstances of war and political violence. Examining this issue, however, has led in many directions and raised many broader issues. In this concluding chapter, I want to return to the five questions I began with and then discuss how they generated new questions that changed the focus of the book. In addition, since utilitarian arguments have played a central role in my defense of noncombatant immunity and since this use of utilitarian ideas conflicts with many widely held views, I want to return to the question of whether utilitarian reasoning can support noncombatant immunity.
