First of all we have to define the term Terrorists and Guerillas. Following is my own definition.
<u><b>Terrorists</u></b> An unrecognizable person, or group of persons, not recognized as a sovereign entity, that primarily targets civilians and other "non-combatants", in an effort to force rule, policy or opinion.
<u><b>Guerillas</u></b> A recognizable combatant, or group of combatants, that target military targets in such a fashion as to attack suddenly, and then flee, thus minimizing losses to themselves, and thier group.
As far as "acceptable" rules of war go...I guess you would only have to ask a Georgian, or a South Carolinian, after Sherman's Army went through, during the Civil War. Primary targets were civilians, violating every known precept of "modern" warfare. We tend to ignore this, however, as Sherman's March contributed quite heavily to the end of the war.
