Are the Iraqi people fending off the invaders to their homeland any different? I don't really think so in that perspective.
Did the Revolutionaries intentionally target civilian instead of military targets?

They were called terrorists back then, but they did not fall into the definition.

There is an easy way to defeat the islamomorons though. Simply tell them the next terror attack will result in cruise missles flattening the top 100 muslim unholy sites across the world, starting with mecca.
The United States is the biggest terrorist organization in the world.

Why do you have to target civilians to be considered a terrorist?

I think the definition (as definitions do) has changed over time (obviously especially since 9/11). However, any person that uses fear and terror with political guidance to me is a terrorist. If they are utilizing it against civilians or the government or the military makes no difference IMO.

V for Vendetta. The main player can definitely be called a terrorist. He definitely did questionable activities. But he was justified for an analogy of sorts there.

So you don't make distinction between military action and terrorists? Wow.

So you think everything American revolutioniaries engaged in was military action? I don't think so. But it doesn't matter because it was justified.
