Why?
George Washington was a revolutionary, not a terrorist.
The difference?
Terrorists kill innocent people, revolutionaries only attack their enemies' non-civilians. One is military, the other is a coward.
Also if you spent your time "blessing" democracy and used your time to promote the time aged "more democracy" there would be no need for terrorism. Not to mention you fail and mentioning why those countries needed a revolution.
Sorry, I know you were trying to look smart by putting a general meaning on a now biased word, but next time know your definitions (and don't go quoting some dictionary, because you can always find some general definition to support an argument), know about the military, and get your information from somewhere other than CNN.

Are you saying that the British considered the North American insurgents "revolutionaries"? Oh please, I'm sure they had worse words than that. This is an American forum occupied by Americans (as I am). But I'm quite surprised at how sensitive people are of their legends. Perhaps I was naive in thinking most of you would approach this in an abstract manner. Oh well, I can see that no one wants to argue about the many of other things I mentioned.
P.S. Like I mentioned earlier, terrorists can morph to legitimacy via an overthrow or by the support of their compatriots. You should re-read the original post.
