It was a terrorist act on a grand scale, plain and simple.
Al Queda declared war on the west. Does that negate all of their actions as terrorism?

We invaded a country. That is done in war. We engaged enemy combatants. That is done in war. We captured cities. That is done in war.
The "insurgents" (or whatever you want to call them) engaged enemy combatants. That is done in war. They took cities. That is done in war. Whether they were terrorists in their "off days", they were soldiers when they were at war with us.
We both did some bad ****. That is done in war. That's not a good thing, but it's been a part of war for as long as war has been a thing.
