@CuateBoliviano The fundamental assymetry between how we treat terrorist armed formations and states engaged in unlawful killings is central to my point. Take for example, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, also from al-Zawahiri's Egypt...

@CuateBoliviano El Sisi was operational commander of a the Rabaa massacre, which killed over 1,000 people and injured thousands more. Five times the toll of the twin embassy bombings, though only one-third of September 11.

@CuateBoliviano Yet for the West, El-Sisi is a legitimate interlocutor. Having him as unelected president is less objectionable than the Afghan government allowing al-Zawahiri to live in an apartment building.

@CuateBoliviano Yet despite being head of state, with thousands of political prisoners, El-Sisi is not a legitimate military target under international law, if some Muslim Brotherhood government in the region wanted to act like the USA does.
