ever directly attacked the US or US citizens?

Why do you draw the line at "directly attacked"? We have laws that make it a crime to conspire to murder. I don't think it's unreasonable to go after people who are conspiring to attack the US or US citizens.

If they're within range of our borders, and people, sure.

Why does the border matter? If somebody across the border is getting ready to fire a cruise middle at me, should I just let it happen?

The point is that very few of these people had any intention, let alone capability, to commit a terrorist act against the US. Most of them were civilians or young men who joined their countries' militaries to defend against an invading force.
