#1 Terror is against civilians this seems to be a valid target.

#3 If the Germans did it then it was a legitimate military target except that Germany and the US weren't at war in 1916. Still, I can't blame them since we were helping their enemies.

If Iran's reactors suddenly exploded one night with no apparent cause I'd be laughing so in the grand scheme of things this seems fair game. Act of war for sure, but the US didn't catch them (or didn't want to get sucked in at that time so didn't say anything about it).

#4 WWII was a bit different. After the Normandie fire, the NY FBI went to the heads of organized crime and convinced them to watch the waterfront. Nothing happened after that; a few German agents were rumored to have disapeared; it was pretty quiet after that.
