This is why I have trouble taking the word terrorist overly seriously. It's totally subjective, rather cultural bias allows anyone of us to see it that way. Yeah, it's not unreasonable to call a religious fanatic with a bomb strapped to their chest a terrorist, but it's not unreasonable to call a flying robot dropping bombs with lasers an act of terrorism either. However, from our perspective, only one is.
The reality is the American colonials were terrorist rebels in the eyes of the English. Then again, the entire American revolution is always taught in such a bizarre way. The King is always made the to be the villain, when really, he wasn't even the main problem. He had the power to stop it, which he didn't, but the people who were causing problem were English ruling elite. Dare I call them a ruling 1%? Regardless, the American revolution always seems so misunderstood.
How about strapping on an automatic rifle and calmly, methodically shooting people in cold blood who are simply enjoying a night out with friends and family? I'd say that qualifies.
The British army did consider the newly formed armies terrorists. They did complain that it wasn't proper to hide behind trees and set up traps in war.

Now THAT would qualify as a terrorist! And in fact, I'd lump the nutjobs in this country that go all postal and shoot up a public place (gun free zone) as well as the gangbangers in the hood into that category as well!
