Re: a definition
...the official US definition is something to the effect of "Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to attain religious or political ideological goals though intimidation, coercion or instilling fear."
​
I wonder if US actions during the build-up to war in Iraq qualify as terrorism by the official US definition?

WW2 bombing atrocities
What the Germans did to Coventry and what the British did to Dresden were both inexcusable, as far as I've heard. Two historical centres totally levelled.
