<<It is up to the Sudanese people as it is up to us to understand and react to what government does>>

This is where I think the danger lies in your position. The Sudanese people may not have considered the acts in question to be terrorism. They may, however, consider the bombing to be terrorism. Or perhaps they considered our bombing of Iraq, or our support of Israel to be either direct or supported terrorism. If that's the case, they would be perfectly justified in supporting the bombing of American targets, since they would consider us a terrorist nation.

There is no universally accepted definition of terrorism. If a country attacks us, we know who to respond against. What you have described is an appropriate response during a war. Can an individual or a non-aligned group wage a war? If so, do the same rules apply? Are we in any way guilty if the rest of the world doesn't agree that the Sudanese strike was justified? Just some thoughts.
