Explain whether 9/11 was justified on utilitarian grounds from Bin Laden's perspective because of the benefits that Bin Laden and al Qaeda derived from it.
 
  A. No, utilitarianism does not justify 9/11 because a utilitarian standard requiresthat the irreparable harm inflicted on some is outweighed by the overallbenefit to others.
 B. No, utilitarianism does not justify 9/11 because a utilitarian standard requiresthat all consequences be taken into account when assessing the justificationfor the action, and there were several unaccounted for consequences of 9/11.
 C. No, utilitarianism does not justify 9/11 because a utilitarian standard requiresthat only some consequences be taken into account when assessing the
 justification for the action, and Bin Laden and al Quaeda only considered one
  consequence.
  D. Yes, utilitarianism justifies 9/11 to Bin Laden in serving the overall good
  despite the sacrifice of some.
