This is the exact same thing bin Laden and his followers and all terrorist say to the US.
Here you have a prime example of our moral duplicity.
In other words, we have exactly the same attitude we are punishing our enemy for having.

The only justification for the use of force is to protect Freedom and individual rights. The US is engaged in a campaign to render the jihadist's campaign of murder and mayhem. The only way to neutralize a force is to oppose it with another force of sufficient magnitude.
The jihadist's actions are motivated by a desire to dictate to and direct the actions of the US. The US has no such desire to direct the actions of the jihadists other than to have them cease and desist in their criminal campaign of murder and mayhem. The moral map is clear, the US is right and the jihadists have gone beyond wrong, into the relm of pure evil.
