The question on the table is whether or not terrorism is ever acceptable. If you're trying to get an answer to that question, then you must frame the hypothetical around terrorism, not some other aspect of warfare. Shooting combatants is not terrorism. Bombing busses is.

Whose table?

Your little word game is losing luster fast. The situations you describe play to both sides. Bombing a bus is quite OK in war if it is full of combatants.

You have missed defining terrorism or terror.

Discussing it in the context of many wars fought before the modern rules for warfare and the current world situation AND your little hypothetical situations is an excercise in futility.

Your questions are not worth answering because you are not engaging in meaningful discussion. You are just playing games.
