I have to take serious issue with this. The objective of guerrilla warfare is attrition of a force which you do not have the strength to meet in full battle. It is fought against military forces. The objective of terrorism is intimidation of citizenry through murder and spectacular violence. It is directed against civilians.

Oh yeah ? Western media does not follow your definition. One example that just came to my mind first: "Terrorist attack" against USS Cole in Yemen. It will not take that long bofore all Iraqis will be blamed Al-Quada agents !
