I don't accept the distinction is arbitrary.

The way you are using your definition you could declare ALL war to be terrorism and probably throw in the police and the law courts as well.

And you are using the definition of terror in an inconsistent fashion.

Because you said if it is done in a war it is not an act of terrorism, and Dresden and Guernica certainly were an act of terrorism. Terrorism is a methodology, not an ideology. The outcome of a terrorist attack no matter how large the scale does not alter the fact that it is a terrorist attack.
