For years now the US has operated outside the law. This is true no matter which party is in the White House. Wishing for due process of law from any President will do as much good as praying to baby Jesus.
It doesn't matter if the next leader of al Qaeda wants to retaliate. The US intentionally armed al Qaeda in Syria and encouraged violence there at a time when jihadists were also attacking in Europe. Once we give the weapons to Zawahiri's friends we have no idea what they're used for.
The US keeps things violent, because that's what they want. Even if Zawahiri's colleagues decided to give up and go home, the US would find willing jihadists to arm.
