Are we going to have due process for every terrorist that we need to kill overseas? I'm surprise they use American laws to protect themselves when they don't respect it anyways.

Denied justice when they going hiding and planning. That was their own downfall. Even the terrorist's father couldn't keep him off the list because the terrorist himself didn't attend the court. Can't represent by proxy.

As a personal opinion, you are entitled to say that, but without evidence for any of what you say, it is all pretty ineffective.

America is a barbaric killing machine.
War, death and destruction is in their culture.

Perhaps watching less violent movies, or not at all, would help your state of mind.
