You're fighting a terrorist organization who use terrorism, and you want to get rid of those terrorists. Fair enough.
But you are arguing that it's ok to act like said terrorists just this once in response because that's the only way to do things here?
You're just going to come off that moral high ground for a bit, kill a bunch of people, and then jump back up there later on when you're done?
That seems ridiculous to me.

Nothing ridiculous about it. Imagine a professional boxer. When he fights, he adheres to the rules of boxing. But then he is suddenly attacked on the street by a gangster. And the gangster does not really adhere to any rules, but rather uses all the dirty tricks possible. Does the boxer still need to adhere to rules of boxing? Or is it ok to fight just to win? And then, after he defeats the gangster, he can come back to being boxer and fight according to the rules again.
