I absolutely agree Scott. I would frame the distinction a little differently, though. A crime is breaking the law from within a framework of laws. Usually crime has motives of passion or profit. An act of war is an attack from a foreign power designed to achieve political ends through the calculated use of violence. This was definitely an act of war. One of our biggest mistakes in the last ten years has been to regard terrorism as a crime and seek judicial solutions. Daniel Pipes has written lots of good stuff on this in the Middle East Forum (www.meforum.org), and he just had an opinion column in the WSJ on this subject.
