the parallel seems pretty clear to me.

Its not that US went to carpet bomb Pakistan or Afganistan.
US didnīt carpet bomb Pakistan or Afganistan because it is not at war with these entities, itīs fighting a terrorist organization/movement in the soil of said countries. "War on Terror" is a nice label, like 'War on Drugs", but it helps nothing to the solution.
