You can't seperate the civilians from the rest of the country. They live there, they're part of the country. If that country commits an act of war we are at war with that entire country.

So if an American terrorist goes and bombs something in Afghanistan and goes back home, the US government is harboring him and hence the entire country is a valid target for war and punishment in the eyes of the victim, and killing a few US citizens in the act of punishing them is just to be expected and nothing to get outraged about.
