Idiots.

Terrorosm is a tactic. It could theoretically be used for good ends, although I can't think of an example.

For instance, suicide bomber Jews could have attacked German civilian targets in 1935 Germany. They would have been terrorists because they were targetting civilians, not because their cause was evil.

BTW, I don't consider those who attack their enemy's troops, as the Fedayeen Saddam attacked coalition troops, to be terrorists, regardless of whether they are wearing formal uniforms. They may be illegal combatants and might be properly liable to summary execution, but they are not terrorists.
