As I see it, it justifies1 al Qa'ida bombing of USA embassies2, after all they are part and parcel of attacks on civilians, because embassies collaborate with spies, which are not civilians in any meaningful sense3. An eye for an eye and everybody ends blind.

1)Remember the Maine, and the Tonkin attack that wasn't.
2)Remember those wikileaks cables?
3) And much less to people who have lived in wars stoked by the USA, US citizens elect their chiefs, so they must bear the responsibilities.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

As per the observed behavior of the US which makes attacks in countries were they are not at war, Pakistan in particular, but I think Yemen too, it seems so.
