Anything or anybody that kills innocent people is guilty of immoral behaviour. One thing that I think that you are not taking into account though, is intent. The intent of the Americans is not to go out and target civilians. I know MANY soldiers and they have nightmares about that stuff, and they never meant to do it, whereas the terrorists SPECIFICALLY target civilians. Please, maintain some perspective.
