Seems awfully disingenuous to call this "disgruntled Americans". Surely, out of all the possible traits to point out here, being "disgruntled" isn't the defining factor.

So let's not mince words and false pretenses here. Here is a fair definition of terrorism:

"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims"

Now, let's go through the list. Was there violence involved? Yes. Was there intimidation. Yes. Was this against civilians and politically motivated.. well yes.

Then it begs the question, is this wilful ignorance, or is there some malice involved. I suppose that is for you to know. But I find it annoying that it's so prevalent. Whichever it is.
