In this day and age it is pretty clear what the connotation of terrorism represents. It was defined since 9-11 as radical muslims killing innocent civilians for their fundamental religious Jihad. And yes, that is clearly terrorism.
Lets have a look through history though, and make sure that we're not revising the definition to suit any current political expediencies.
Japan - 1937 - The attack and takeover of Nanjing. Several hundred thousand civilians raped, tortured, beheaded and left in the streets. One of the most brutal massacres in the history of mankind. Terrorism? Check.
Allied Forces - Hamburg 1943 and Dresden 1945. Two cities firebombed into oblivion, nearly 1 million civilians burned to death, or blown to pieces or maimed to the extent that they were unrecognizable. Non military targets, a million casualties.
Khmer Rouge - 2 million dead, many by torture and starvation. Pol Pot takes to the killing fields in the mid 70s using such grounds as S-21, a former elementary school, to wreak horror and misery on the populace.
Mao - Millions of political prisoners, an unknown but surely 7-figure number of political deaths and 50 million plus in famine.
Stalin - 20+ million deaths of opposition civilians.
Hitler - 6 million deaths in the holocaust, countless more in his war.
Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, millions in famine
Rwanda, Darfur.............
