Surely you can't be serious.

In case you didn't notice, the WTC was filled with *civilians* on 9/11. Even if we *do* carry out a preemptive strike on Iran, we will be targeting military installations and other strategic military sites. We will not be indiscriminately killing innocent civilians.

That's how it's materially different.
