Don't definitions of terrorism need to exclude the parameters of nation states at war? There are always civilian casualties in war, doubly so in modern total wars.

Yep. But in the cases I cite, civilians are targets not "collateral damage".

Nadine, I've been meaning to ask you how you would categorize the incident I read about frequently in which I think it was Shamir, perhaps others, who bombed a hotel full of civilians (you can tell from my recounting that I probably don't even have the outlines correct) but I'm certain you know about the incident. It's the one in which, in these arguments about terrorism, the reply is that certain future Israeli leaders were terrorists.
