He was a terrorist.

Being as the United States has no legal authority outside of the United States, and the only way it can stop terrorists from committed acts against the US to take them out - being as we cannot arrest them. The fact that he was a US citizen is pretty much irrelevant because US law does not apply in other countries, and US citizens are not covered under American law.

I don't loose any sleep over what happened to Anwar al-Awlaki.
