The political action of which our nation was founded.
When separating from england the supporters would use terrorism such as tar and feathering and railing to force the non-supporters to ban products or in general be disloyal to the crown.

Terrorism is the use of non-mandated pressure to achieve an outcome. It is NOT an act of war and generally has political motives. A group of bank robbers are not terrorists, nor are the legitimate armies of any country. The Vietnam war provides a good case and point; the US public initially approved of the action, then as casualties mounted, issues highlighted, the people themselves decided to change the government and stop the war, most definitely not terrorism of any kind. In many Arab, African and Latin countries, Terrorists engage in their actions regardless of government orders or the wishes of the majority of the people. They are ungovernable as they are sociopathic by definition.
When the people can vote out a government and end a war, that war is not terrorism.
The unabomber, suicide bombers, even Greenpeace and the like are terrorists; the U.S., Iraq, Pakistan as sovereign countries with a voting public governing policy are most definitely not.

1. Acts of covert violence against civilians designed to create fear.
2. George W. Bush's excuse to bomb every Arab nation in the world.

Terrorism is the deliberate targeting of innocent persons for bodily harm in order to promote a political, "religious," or economic goal. Note that religious is in quotes, because no "real" religion would permit this.
Unlike Pearl Harbor on 7-Dec-1941, the 11-Sep-2001 attack on the Pentagon was an act of terrorisom. This is because a cilvilian aircraft with civilian passengers and crew was used as the weapon of attack.

Ideal form of motivation.
"If you don't do that shit, i'm gonna terrorize your ass."
Terrorist - "Sup Georgie B? Ima go and fly one of them aircrafts into some of yo buildings, if thats cool with you.
Georgie B - "Nah man thats not aight."
Terrorist - "But dawg, we gots oilz."
Georgie B - "lol, aight."
Terrorism and Motivation go hand in hand.

Violence committed by people who do not have an airforce.
The LTTE is one exception; they own a couple of helecopters. Drug lords have private jets too.

The practice of bombing or otherwise being destructive in an attempt to create fear among civilian populations. Forms of terrorism include hijacking aircraft, suicide bombing, and shock and awe.
