But regardless of the syntax used in dictionary definitions, i feel that there is a big difference in what the US military does, and what muslim extremists are doing.

Dammit, you're not supposed to argue reasonably, YELL AT ME, DAMMIT!

Seriously, I know the definition doesn't really prove anything - Always be wary of anyone who argues with a dictionary. I just bring it up to raise questions. It's perfectly valid to not equate the U.S. military and Muslim extremists, I guess, as long as you look at the actions of both with open eyes. I just feel that if the stated purpose of out actions is to depose governments (Baathists in Iraq) and intimidate political groups (for, example, Muslim fundamentalists or Saddam loyalists), then we need to stop bandying about the "T" word so freely.
