I think you mean "don't respect" or "disrespect", but anyway, your definition of terrorist goes against how most people would define it. Terrorism isn't about whether you give someone a trial of not. Just by looking at the name, you can see that it's about doing violent acts intended to create fear/terror in a group of people (to intimidate them). Defining all wartime deaths as terrorism is absolutely ridiculous. It's such a charged term that, when you use it like this, I feel like I am talking to a bigot who will freely condemn anyone he doesn't like.
Ok, Let's not call this terrorist. Anyway, both behaviours are really similars and that what is really sick.
I don't really understand you when you say « I feel like I am talking to a bigot who will freely condemn anyone he doesn't like. ». Let's put aside the fact that it's a personnal attack, I don't care and I prefer discuss without making it personnal. But I really don't how you can come up with that conclusion. This is axactly the comportement I condamn. This is the comportement Ben Laden had when he organized 9/11. This the comportement USA had when they decided to kill Ben Laden without a trial, when they go to war in Irak (or maybe it is because of mass destruction weapons ?) and so on. This is exactly what I condemn.
Seriously, I know that this is a really emotionnal topic in USA, but when you look at the past ten years, it really looks like « OK, terrorist did attack us, so we are allowed to do whatever including what those guys did to us ». That's madness.
