While I do agree that there is a difference between killing civilians deliberatly and killing them because of neglagence....then end result is the same: innocent people are dead, and everyone else is scared of us because of what we did. That is terrorism.

Right.
Let's not forget who put Saddam into power.
Who trained the Taliban and Osama to get the Russians out of Afganistan?
Perhaps, if we did not meddle in the affiars of other countries so much then they would not hate us like they do. I don't know. I am not them, so I can't really say.
What I do know is that people with power will do anything to keep that power. And the lives of a few innocents is little consequence when it comes to world domination.
I've gotten off topic, so I appologize.
Do I think they are terrorists? Yes, I would have to say they are. Do I empathize with them? No... they kill innocents people that have nothing to do with what ever grievence they wish to illuminate. Do I think they have a good reason for what they are doing? Yeah... I would think they do.
Not sure the point anymore... so I'm gonna just shut up now
