"Civilian killed in Iraq" does not equal "victim of terrorism" terrorism: The unlawful use(check) or threatened use of force or violence(check) by a person or an organized group(check) against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments(check), often for ideological or political reasons(check). Last I checked the war in Iraq was indeed "illegal". The war most certainly is being driven for ideological and political reasons - the neocons even admit this. It may not "feel" like terrorism to us, safe behind our TV sets, but I bet the average civilian still stuck in Fallujah - and make no mistake, there will be innocents there who simply didn't have the means to escape - I bet these people are quite convinced they are being attacked by "coalition partner" terrorists.
