It’s a slim difference though, right?
To us, sure.
To the parents of those children or to their community? Probably not.
Let’s say Canada attacks the US for no reason, the US responds by bombing the #### out of us. One of those targets happens to be close to you, and your family and friends are seriously affected. Are you going to say “yeah, it was justified, and they got who they were after, so I have no good argument against it.” It might not be your fault, but you were on the wrong side of it whether you like it or not, so you have to deal.
It gets harder the closer you put yourself to the situation. Pretty easy from far away.
