You cannot both condemn terrorism as always wrong (murder) and at the same time, as a "response" to terrorism, justify/excuse killing civilians (the defining characteristic that allegedly distinguishes terrorism from war). Since in the "Global War Against Terrorism" over 900,000 civilians have been killed, either terrorism (murder) is not always wrong or the United States is a terrorist nation and guilty of murder.
