The way I see it: if 25 innocent civilian are killed because of a missile attack in Afganistant, that's too bad but it was worth it if you killed the terrorist. Plus, you might also kill other terrorists in the attack. It's sad, it's completely unethical but that's the way it is.
You have to play by there rules if you want to win. As far as they are concerned, civilians are just as an opportunistic target as the speaker of the house (the President of the US is in a different category)

Yes but the killing the 25 innocents will fuel the fires of the Terrorist, then if you kill those who join because of this where will it stop? Terrorisum is something that can never be destoryed, better to let them stay and intrate them, while some bombing have to be let to happen to keep the cover, you can (hopefully) prevent the major ones.
