When you're fighting an invasion, nothing is off the table, all tactics are valid.

Why is America surprised when this happens to them?

I doubt you would have been saying that if someone assassinated family members of political leaders in the US during the Iraq or Afghan wars

I definitely would. If someone invaded my country, I'd sure as hell consider their political leadership a valid target.

You mean the same regime that the US supported during some of those invasions, including helping Saddam target Kurds with chemical attacks? Using your logic then it is definitely justifiable to attack US political leaders in retaliation for illegal wars of aggression and brutal invasions.

Anger at an event isn't the same as saying that event shouldn't have happened or it's not fair. If there was an retaliatory attack on the US. There would've been anger, and questions would have been "how dare they attack us". Hell in the US education system we learn of the phrase "All is fair in love in war". Usually it's geared towards the romantic side. But the whole phrase is in the education system. It's not a hard jump to have gone oh it would be fair.

So it would've been fair. Hell we still look at the pros and cons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in us government in highschool. And I remember 15+ years ago an assignment where two sides took opposite sides in those bombings.
