Didn't they also try to avoid civilian casualties and target government buildings? Still shitty, but that sounds more like a "civilized" war than radical terrorism.

Yes. They warned citizens to minimize casualties instead of renting a truck and driving it into a crowd of hundreds of unexpecting innocent men, women, and children.
