retaliotary car bombs

It is amazing that the Washington Post now calls the car bombs by Syrian armed groups in Lebanon as "retaliatory car bombs". Would the Post consider Palestinian car bombs against Israeli targets "retaliatory"? Would the Post agree then with Bin Laden that his terrorist bombings on Sep. 11 were retaliatory for what he termed the American occupation of Saudi Arabia? And did the Post refer to car bombs against US occupiers in Iraq as "retaliatory"? do you see how US media are casually rationalizing the terrorism of Syrian armed groups?
