But not against men?

Why do we have to define whether it is terrorism? Nowadays every
war has the other side defined as "terrorists", with some
justification. It is the new "in" word. The enemy combatants are
still called cowards, even as they do brave things.

If someone murders innocent people by acts of greed, or acts of war,
or acts of terrorism, the result is the same, so why make the
distinction when picking punishments?
