Don't forget Geth. They're a race, too.
Right, yet they hadn't passed the veil in 300 years, that's not enough reason to see them as a threat. That they did turn out a threat in Mass Effect 1 is something no-one could've foreseen. To say otherwise is hindsight. Seriously you can keep giving examples but none work. Stop trying.

So if a person of another race tries to kill me, I have the right to wipe out his entire race?
If there is no other alternative, then sadly, yes? The Rachni nor the Krogan ever gave any sign of wanting peace. (The Krogan did
after the Genophage, seeing the hopelessness of continuing.)
What is your suggestion, to leave them be and wait for a resurgence in waractivities?

Smart ass? My my, some people just can't be civil when challenged.
The Turians didn't stop being dangerous when they stopped fighting. The Council didn't stop being a potential enemy even when they asked (told?) us to join up.
The funny thing about conflicts is that the only real time to prepare for them is before they start. If you only do
something when you need it or it's imminent, it's quite often too late. You don't look to drink during the middle of a long run, you don't look to study in the minutes before the test, and you don't start preparing for a war once it's already apparent.
Smartass is not really a rude word per se, It's commonly used when someone gives an argument as you did. (Look it up if you don't believe me). But fine, I'm sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention to do so.
They did stop being a threat. Commonly when you have an active embassy in someones country or in this case the citadel and heavy political ties, one doesn't expect war with said races.
One example would be the Baterians, those were a threat for a while (dealt with by the Alliance, mind you), there's no political activity or an embassy with them, is there? One closes their embassy and severs political ties if they are on bad terms with someone.
While true in some part, one doesn't prepare for conflict before it's suspected... In your view the United States of America would at the very moment prepare for war with the United Kingdom, because one could never know eh? Secondly, preparing for war, achieves only that, war. One good reason why the other races are so negative about Cerberus.

Your boorishness does you no credit.
None of these acts qualify as they were not public. Terrorism requires inciting terror (keyword) to bring about social or political change. Cerberus had real, tactical reasons for these experiments.
Most of those acts qualify, for terrorism doesn't have to be public actually. If it solely encites terror in a government it's also labeled as terrorism. (WikiLeaks.) (Edit: Mind you, WikiLeaks is public, but I hope you get the message that that is not the point, the point is it being solely a terror for a government).
The main thing it needs to do, which you so rightly said is create terror for said organization. Isn't that exactly what the other races, and some humans, feel about Cerberus? What about the attack on the Migrant Fleet, that's no act of terrorism?

On topic, when has Cerberus attempted (or stated they desired) to "undermine the entirity[sic] of galactic civilization and leave the council in ruins"?
Their view and actions are based on a human first, above all else motto. Which is directly opposed to the view of the council. Add that to the criminal/terrorist acts they've done in the past to 'further' humanity, one can say they are terrorists to the council and races in general. I'd also like to add that one doesn't have to have a goal which wants to leave a race/country/council in ruins to be labeled as terrorists. (WikiLeaks).
