the terrorists went after legitimate targets

Well, I'd say it's arguable whether a terrorist can ever have a 'legitimate' target. If they're not uniformed and identifiable soldiers, not following the Geneva conventions, then I'd say their actions are murder no matter who gets killed, as it were.
<edit> and remember the Israelis were apparently inside their own country, so it's not as though they were doing anything wrong or justifying force against them.

But one evil does not justify a greater evil. And it's starting to really hack me off when Israel claims the privileges of a civilised country, but refuses to follow civilised rules.
