Document Summary
Reframing terror from the perspective of conflict resolution by lederach. The justice question: accountability and systemic prevention (lederach 2-4) Voice one: in the wake of terrible acts of violence the call for retribution is heard the most, and sometimes morphs into a cry for revenge [those responsible must be brought to justice] (lederach 3). However, at its deepest level, the fundamental legitimate and necessary source of this social energy is a cry for accountability (lederach 3) Voice two: the second voice we hear rises from a different source and creates a distinctive energy. Essentially this voice decries the patterns of political, religious, and economic roots of social exclusion, isolationism, and oppression that contribute to the origins of terrorism (lederach 4). We are stuck in a cycle of violence that will take time to end. Both voices call for justice, and an end to terrorism. The enemy question: threat as person and threat as social milieu (lederach 4- 5)
