In all fairness: my turn to ask the questions, and your turn to answer them.
#1: Country A supports terrorism against country B. Should country B be
allowed to let its military strike back at country A?
#2: If the answer to #1 is "yes", would this always be true, or only for
certain countries B?
#3: If the answer to #2 is "only for certain countries B", then list those
countries and explain why other countries are not on that list.
#4: If the answer to #1 is "no", then why not?
#5: If country B strikes back at country A, would it be justified if
country A would in turn attack country B (either through A's military or
through further support for the terrorists)?
#6: If the answer to #5 is "yes", would this always be true, or only for
certain countries A?
#7: If the answer to #6 is "only for certain countries A", then list those
countries and explain why other countries are not on that list.
#8: If the answer to #5 is "no", then why not?
I await your answers.
