How about this:

Given our vastly superior power, it is only our generosity and sense of honor and adherence to the rules of engagement that keeps us from exterminating every last one of them.

By your logic, we might as well say: "Well, we don't have the power to do what is necessary to defeat an insurgency, because they blend in with civilians when our troops show up and start planting IED's. So we have to resort to "dirty" strategies and just exterminate 100 civilians in a country that hosts terrorists for every American civilian killed by terrorists. You can really only blame the terrorists if you get targeted by us".

No thanks. I'm going to blame terrorists for being terrorists, whether they feel their actions are justified or not. The Middle East can attribute its continued existence to the fact that we are neither Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Imperial Japan.

I don't want to have anything to do with the Middle East, and I disagree with our foreign policy, but terrorism is never okay whether you think we "deserve it" or not.
