Are the armies sent to kill terrorists justified?

WHY NOT?
We have already withdrawn our forces from Saudi Arabia, Saddam is gone, and we gain nothing from occupying Afghanistan. Israel can live in peace behind the green line.

And what? Terrorists will just back off, give us the thumbs up and walk away? I think we should do that and call their bluff. They will just push the envelope further. They're trigger happy and have the inherent need to blow stuff up. They would be happiest if all Isrealis were dead and all Americans worshipped Allah. OBL is the Jerry Fallwell of the Mideast, they're not happy until everyone is like them.

Personally no, whatever their reasons are killing people for avenging is not justified.
But, As Einstein said it is all relative, it depends on whose side you are looking from.
From Terrorists view - Yes, from dead civilians view- No.
