I was waiting for someone to mention the fire bombing of Dresden. Yes, it was terrorism. So was the fire bombing of Tokyo (which, by the way, killed more people than both atomic bomb drops). I will stand by my definition.

Stompy, whether you choose to think so or not, there are rules to war. The Geneva Convention is one of those rule sets, and is suppose to be followed by every faction that agrees with it. Under the Geneva convention it is illegal to use a shotgun to kill an enemy combatant, you cannot use .50 caliber and larger guns against enemy troops, ammunition for small arms must be "ball" ammunition, and cannot mushroom past a certain extent, etc. As I said though, no rule goes unbroken, and the rules of warfare are no exception.
