if someone is out of their own country (or inside their country in some cases) and engaged in activities targeting Americans, there will be some sort of retaliation
by this logic, the assassination of US generals by a range of middle east / african / south american states is totally kosher. seems like a dangerous road to go down.

I can sort of see the way the US is thinking and it is a demonstration that if someone is out of their own country (or inside their country in some cases) and engaged in activities targeting Americans, there will be some sort of retaliation. After the embassy storming the other day, it was only a matter of when not if they did something targeting Iran's interests. The fact Suleimani was in Iraq doesn't make the pretence that the embassy was a locally arranged (but pro-Iran) thing any more believable.
