They carried out a successful military action that furthered their goals. And they killed far fewer people than many of the military operations we have engaged in. They are only bad because they didn't follow our rules of war and weren't us. (We often defend our own who don't follow our rules of war; see all those defending torture of detainees.)

They are bad, we are bad. The only not bad involved in all of this is the little children who we both have hurt, and even then those children will grow up and become what the other side considers bad.
