The term "terrorist" is in question. The man was an Iranian General. His country is in an uproar that he was assassinated by the USA.
Yes, the USA assassinated the General of Iran. If a General has violated law, why wasn't he brought to trial through the many options available to the USA? There is no war between Iran and the USA, so it's not an option to simply kill a military person from another country such as Iran.
This man was fighting a proxy war killing Americans.. Iran is our enemy, do you remember that or do you want to sent them more pallets of cash to buy missiles to aim at us as Obama did.
The expected response has taken place. Unfortunately this is only the beginning.
Is this what the assassination was supposed to prevent? How Trump thought that killing the general would prevent anything is beyond me. It was obvious it would do the opposite: escalate attacks against Americans.

Do you remember that Iran was responsible for burning down our American Embassy, took out half of Saudi Arabia's oil, and killed an American? Iran is the aggressor. But of course you are watching HATETRUMP TV as usual.

It was an assassination.
We didn't go around assassinating Soviet generals and politicians in the 1960s because they were involved in every proxy war on the planet, including one which killed 56 000 Americans.
Of course you can. If you are not at war with a country then killing such person is an assassination. There is no proof he was 'operating' or 'targeting' anything. He was visiting an ally.
There is proof he was targeting Americans to kill them. I bet if MSM said Bin Laden was a respected leader and we should not take him out because of repercussions the liberal masses would eat it up .

Who told you the American embassy has been burned down, or that half of Saudi oil is gone? Breitbart? Sarah Sanders?

This man should have been taken out years ago. He was killing Americans using terrorist tactics. This is fact.
If one follows that logic, you're okay w/the Chinese govt whacking someone it deems a "terrorist" with a drone hit on US soil.
You suppose the people of the US and the fed govt would view such action as an act of war?
The difference of course is legitimacy.
Also you fail to understand that the US and countries like Iran and Iraq are not equals. If the US feels something is an act of war it matters, if Iran or Iraq fell something is an act of war it doesn't really matter.
There are more strikes against Shia bases near the Iraq-Syria border. They must've done a really good job sealing the border to prevent Islamic State mercenaries from escaping Syrian, Russian, and Turkish forces. Similarly, there are reportedly Russian air strikes against US Al Qaeda proxies in Idlib.
The US is trying to rescue intelligence officers from US, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia at the least that are likely embedded in the leadership positions in the Islamic State cells as was being reported in the sieges in Douma and Aleppo.
