Legitimate targets for what?
Who! not what, we are people too.
Legitimate targets for anyone with honor and dignity. People normally don’t like foreign soldiers strutting around their land or water. I know you wouldn’t tolerate Chinese or Russian navies doing the same. Don’t expect us to accept what you wouldn’t.

Notice the USS Cole is still there. I guarantee they’re still pissed about that. Not the ship you want to target again. They’re likely to overreact.
