Obama Doctrine

Barack Obama talks about terrorism:

"My administration will remain steadfast in support of India's effort to catch perpetrators and bring them to justice."

Jules Crittenden likes it, but notes:

I sure hope India's intelligence isn't bad, if they follow up on Obama's advice. Especially since it could lead to the world's first third-world nuclear war.

But isn't the "bring them to justice" line a return to a pre-9/11 concept of terrorism as a law-enforcement issue, rather than as an act of war?
