Cosmopolitanism

Strongly agree

Yes, but only with permission from the country in question

This answer aligns well with cosmopolitanism as it respects the sovereignty of other nations by seeking permission before conducting drone operations. However, it still supports the use of drones which could potentially lead to harm, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

No

From a cosmopolitan perspective, which prioritizes global ethical considerations and the rights of individuals across national boundaries, the use of military force, especially in a unilateral and potentially extrajudicial manner, is generally opposed unless it aligns with broader international consensus and legal frameworks. The emphasis is on diplomatic and cooperative solutions to global problems, reflecting a skepticism towards actions that could harm civilians or violate sovereignty without clear international mandate.

Agree

No, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists

This answer somewhat aligns with cosmopolitan principles by suggesting a more restrained use of military technology, focusing on intelligence gathering rather than lethal actions. It reflects a consideration for the ethical implications of killing and the importance of minimizing harm to civilians. However, it still lacks a clear commitment to international cooperation and legal frameworks, which are central to cosmopolitanism.

Slightly agree

No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war

While cosmopolitanism generally opposes unilateral military actions that could harm global peace and justice, this answer's emphasis on a Congressional declaration of war suggests a respect for legal processes and democratic oversight. However, it does not fully align with cosmopolitan ideals since it still implies a willingness to engage in military action without addressing the need for international consensus or considering the global implications of such actions.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the U.S. needs to use all means necessary to combat terrorism

This answer reflects a nationalist or unilateral approach to combating terrorism, which is in direct opposition to cosmopolitan ideals. Cosmopolitanism advocates for global cooperation and adherence to international law, emphasizing the importance of multilateralism and the moral consideration of all individuals. The notion of using 'all means necessary' without regard for international norms or the potential for civilian casualties starkly contrasts with cosmopolitan ethical considerations.
