I think it depends. When there is a battle, and there are battle plans, and the action is obviously military- then it's not a problem defining the action as non-terrorist. When it comes down to attacks that look as if they are more designed to emotionally cripple an enemy, rather than to actually win any engagement, I think (for me) the action is more akin to terrorism.

Terrorism certainly shades in to a lot of things, doesn't it? I never really thought about it that deeply- but political protest, vandalism, acts by militaries during war, acts during civil war, despotism, repression- all these things (and many more) can be on the slope with terrorism.
