Att du saknar ordet "statsterrorism" har ingen större betydelse.
Det USA sysslade med i Nicuaragua stred mot amerikansk lagstiftning, mer exakt den amerikanska definitionen av internationell terrorism.
Title 18, Part I, Chapter 113B, § 2331:
(1) the term “international terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum
Det stred även mot den amerikanska militärens definition av terrorism.
The calculated use of violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.Det stred även mot FN's definition av terrorism:
"1. Strongly condemns all acts, methods and practices of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, wherever and by whomsoever committed;
2. Reiterates that criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other nature that may be invoked to justify them". (GA Res. 51/210 Measures to eliminate international terrorism)
Vilken definition du än väljer att använda står det klart att USA ägnade sig åt terrorism i Nicaragua. Om du vill kalla det de dömdes för av den Internationella Domstolen för något annat får du göra så. Det har som sagt ingen betydelse.
USA är alltså dömda för det som även av USA själva kallas terrorism !
