Last I checked the war in Iraq was indeed "illegal".

Then you didn't check very well.

The war most certainly is being driven for ideological and political reasons - the neocons even admit this.

That part of the reason but not all of it.

It may not "feel" like terrorism to us, safe behind our TV sets

Because it isn't.

Also missing from your definition. Terrorism usually refers to the targeting of non-combatants/civilians. By that definition the attack on the Pentagon might not be considered terrorism event though it "feels" like that to us.
