How are the Americans "good guys" in this movie?

Well lets see:

1. They have killed a known arms dealer that is 6th most wanted person in the world.

2. They have stopped at least in part a terrorist plot to kill US president.

3. They have eliminated the terrorists with some help from British secret service (though if you look at the action scene closely the secret service mostly rush in and die rather than be effective).

4. They have killed that arms dealer AGAIN.

Now to adress your concerns. The wedding party was held by a family that openly supported and protected an international arms dealer wanted by western world. They were hardly innocent. Though in reality the missile would not have caused anywhere near that kind of damage (explosion CGI was vastly exaggerated throughout the whole movie)

If the terrorists only plotted to kill the person that authorized the strike - sure i could understand your point. but they decided to take revenge on the leaders of entire western world, most of whom had nothing to do with it and even do not participate in the war on terror at all.

Yeah, because people who hang out with terrorists are completely innocent. The Americans didn't intend to kill innocent bystanders when they tried to eliminate a terrorist who intentionally would've murdered hundreds of innocent people in the name of some dumbass religion. See the nuance???
