Quote by George W. Bush

This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.

This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.

Summary

The quote suggests that although the event in question cannot be classified as terrorism, it should be seen as an act of war. This insinuates that there are differences between the two, with terrorism commonly characterized by random acts of violence against civilians for political motives, while acts of war are typically associated with organized conflicts between nations or armed groups. The quote implies that the situation being discussed falls into the latter category, indicating a deliberate and planned attack which should be addressed within the framework of warfare rather than terrorism.
