EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

Absolutely just like American attack on Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam were acts of terrorism; like the attacks of Israel on West Bank, Gaza, Syria; Russian attack on Ukraine are acts of terrorism.

Or is it that if the government does it, it is justified and if an individual kills a despicable human being it is an act of terrorism.

I didn't say anything about justified or nor justified. But yes. If the government does it it's usually not terrorism because it's based in law. That doesn't make murder better. But it's simply by definition not terrorism.

Law is an excuse given to governments doing acts of terrorism.
