Isn't death collateral damage in just about every conflict? People usually just want power.

True, but in a typical conflict you attack enemy warriors and infrastructure in order to deny them the power to do the same to you. Since you can't hope to convince them to not attack you, you have to kill them. If a general orders you to strike a facility, their direct goal is to have that facility - and its contribution to the enemy war effort - eliminated. Terrorism, on the other hand, is about provoking the enemy into action. Victims are completely unrelated to the goals attackers may have.
