The way I see it, if the US attacks a terrorist with it's military, the Terrorist (The 90 lb weakling) needs to attack the military personal back. Well if they are attack American and British contractors....that's not military. So that's the 4 year old sister. Related to the bully, yet completely can't defend themself.

If you're asking me to compare Rekna's analogy with yours, I would certainly choose Rekna's as being more applicable. Yours brought murder into a school yard scenario - in essence, as Rekna shrank the scope of all aspects in his analogy, you picked one aspect to remain. So your analogy doesn't fit.
I think the most applicable analogy would be that 200lb bully pushes the 90lb weakling around and so the weakling pushes the 4 year old sister of the bully - and she begins to cry. Is it fair to the 4 year old girl? No. But neither are the actions of the bully to the weakling. The 90lb weakling can't push the 200lb bully - it would be entirely meaningless.
