When a foreign country kills US citizens, it's terrorism. When the US kills foreign civilians it's collateral damage or a UI disaster ... business as usual.

No, it’s an act of war if deliberate. As this would have been. It is unusual (though not unprecedented) to refer to the actions of states’ militaries as terrorism.
Intent is important. If I accidentally step on your toe it doesn't necessarily say anything about my character. If I I intentionally step on your toe you know I'm an asshole.
Intent and regret tells you what someone will do in the future.
That's a completely unreasonable take. There is no reason to believe that the killing was intentional, so it can't possibly be terrorism.
Equating an accidental shootdown of a civilian plane during a war, with the intentional killing of civilians as a stategy employed by e.g. jihadist is deeply disingenuous.
