No. US waged terrorism in WWII, terrorism is being waged upon US now. The comparison is apt in the sense that both episode involved terrorism in the sense of waging part of a struggle by attempting primarily beating civilians down with lethal violence.
Chuck,
You are so broadly defining terrorism that any geologist that bends down to pick up a stone for study deserves to be shot simply because there's a slight chance he/she might aggressively toss it in someone's direction. If you are incapable of understanding the moral distinction, and the distinction's importance to the definition of terrorism, between the actions ending WWII and the beach side throat slitting of non-combatants by ISIS then there's really not much we can discuss on the matter.
