When civilians injure civilians, isn't that crime?
War involves states.
Crime is addressed by persistent investigation, forensic studies, identification of those responsible, taking them into custody and bringing them to trial in open court where all relevant facts are brought out into the open for public view.
The first rule in forensic examination of evidence is that you disturb nothing until your studies are completed. Criminal investigation of the WTC attack was prevented by the immediate bulldozing of the site and the removal of all remaining steel which was melted down in a foundry. What was the big rush, anyway?
If successful criminal investigation of the WTC event had been conducted, then by now we might have seen Osama Bin Laden apprehended and put on trial, as the Israelis did with Adolf Eichman.
Isn't calling a crime an act of war used as a means to whip up emotions and get the people to give up liberties to a leader who appoints himself a "wartime president"
