Pie, in the sky, bullshit.
We claim that we are in a war so therefore by your own words it's not the least bit illegal for assorted terrorists to kill their enemies. Therefore using your logic it was completely legal for the ISIS gang to attack the French. We are their enemies so it's not illegal for them to kill us. After all, it's war.
That's grossly parsimonious and brackets out legal conventions on war and engagement and discourse surrounding civilian casualties (Geneva, UN and so on). And yes, nobody is going to sit here and claim that the mass slaughter of civilians hasn't happened before (eg WW2) or that targeted strikes are perfect (everyone knows they're not).
Nothing that Rhythm has said lends any legitimacy to the attacks in Pairs, Beruit etc.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm just going to erect my tin hat shield for the reply. Please bear with me before responding. ^_^
