We kill civilians every month all over the world, we just killed 30 pine nut farmers in Afghanistan in September. Classifying our military as a terrorist group really isn't far-fetched in fact the CIA funds plenty of terrorist groups all over the world, you remember the whole Contra issue? We funded terrorists in Afghanistan during the cold war, right? Syria we funded rebel forces (terrorists) fighting against an established government. So on and so forth we are as guilty of doing the same thing they do, again the difference is we are us and they are them and that's all that matters to most people.

What other countries consider us is pointing out that "terrorist" is relative and therefor shouldn't be any sort of cart blanche reasoning for doing whatever you want. When you kill a government official it is an act of war, we will see how they handle it but calling everything "terrorist" related as a reason to jump into military action is a very dangerous way of doing world politics. 

We didn't blow up a country; nor did we classify the Iraqi government as a terrorist organization. As to your trying to draw a correlation to what the IRGC does and the unfortunate event in Afghanistan; you're choosing to ignore the "targeting" aspect; yet you accuse he of "not knowing the difference".

We do not call everything "terrorist". that's just speaking in hyperbole to make a point that cannot be made without it.
