I’ll give it to you, the US indeed doesn’t like having passenger jets flown into buildings or ied trucks driven under buildings (nobody does you dingbat).
I guess that’s why the term terrorism exists. They weren’t there on 911 to rob the trade centers or bargain for prisoners or do anything other than to cause terror.
Words have meaning, even if you don’t know what it is. You can deny it but you don’t control the way people use words.
