Where did you cite anything?
Silly me. I go through the trouble of finding a reference and forget to cite it.

terrorism - Definitions from Dictionary.com

This is not true. The Jihadists didn't attack the United States on 9/11 because of our lifestyle but because of more than 50 years of America interfering in the internal affairs of Middle Eastern nations - what the CIA referred to as "blow back."
Which could also be seen as an act of war, by your standards.

There's always a cause for terrorism. If we accept your definition for terrorism, which seems to include all terrorist acts with a cause as acts of war, then nothing could ever be terrorism.

What makes you think one side didn't know anything about it?
Umm.. you know why Pearl Harbor will live on in infamy, right?

Because we were successfully ambushed. This ambush was successful in large part because we were unprepared to reciprocate.

I'm not going to answer your other two questions - not when I could simply quote myself without any added commentary and leave them sufficiently answered, again.
