No. The Americans sent two negotiators to negotiate with these Al Quaeda Terroists. They then proceeded to kill the two negotiators. Then, the Americans decided to attack them. There was no "self defence" involved in this. Fact of the matter is that the militants inside the Al Quaeda household killed the negotiators that the U.S sent. The Americans then proceeded to avenge them. That's not self defence, retard. Stop sticking up for terroists.
