Striking military targets is more like a tactical warfare move.

Terrorism is inciting terror.

So hitting a military target when no one is there, or hitting equipment, that isn't terrorism.

The terror is when you are striking school buses, or suicide bombing in crowded areas.

Is it ever justified?

It depends; are people of a country, even if my inaction or apathy, responsible for the actions of its government? If the people control the government, then the people are the ones you need to get attention from.


I could see how if I lost everything... my kids were killed because one country dropped bombs or caused a war. You might decide, vengeance. Make them hurt like you do.

The idea of dying for your cause, being a hero to your peers. (40 virgins?) just makes it easier to kill yourself (when you already wanted to die anyway.)
