<< But let me first preface my question with something I think we'd both agree: No one wants terrorists. >>

I disagree. There are many millions of stupid, corrupt, or mentally impaired people, world wide, who support and approve of terrorism.

<< That said, I ask: What makes a terrorist? >>

What makes a TERRORist? That would be someone, or some regime, that deliberately targets and murders civilians, in order to instill TERROR in the hearts and minds of all civilians.

That is somewhat opposite of HAPPYists, which would be someone, or some regime, that deliberately targets civilians, in order to instill happiness into the hearts and minds of all civilians.
