Let's say my son was killed by Iraqi goverment and I go kill some iraqi's who had nothing to do with it. I would call that a terrorist act.

If I am in a country that is oppressed by another country and I start killing it's people (not soldiers) I think that would be terrorism. If I targeted the military and some civilians near there were killed, and such was not my intention, I don't think that is terrorism though.

It's all about intent and victim. If you intend to kill innocent people to get back at your loss, that to me is wrong and would be classified as terrorism.
