Words like terrorism can easily be exploited for political purposes. By either side.
Wars are fought to be won, and i have no doubt that our military would be killing as many civilians as possible if we thought it would win us a war in a way acceptable to the american people. As it stands now, we have "collateral damage". We avoid civilian deaths unless they can be justified in the context of a larger goal. For the "terrorists" civilian deaths are a means to the larger goal. There is only a difference of degrees between our tactics and theirs.
