IOW, terrorism is an act that disrupts someone�s (the government�s) ability to do his job (govern the country). By your logic, there is an awful lot you can label "terrorism". Suppose someone steals my office computer. As an network administrator, I need that computer to do my work; I cannot do my work without it. IOW, the thief disrupts my ability to do my job. Therefore, the thief is a terrorist and the theft is an act of terrorism. Following your reasoning, it would be okay to wage war against him...
