    Terrorists kill innocent people to spread terror. The US would never kill innocents except for all the innocents they kill.

      Exactly, to spread terror. You’ve correctly identified that motive is a part of the definition. Congrats.

      The US is chiefly concerned with fighting militants for material strategic goals, and has laws against targetting civilians.

      ISIS is chiefly concerned with butchering anyone, regardless of civilian status, to gain, and maintain through fear, power in a region.
