Perhaps we should first discuss semantics at the line of war. When does some activity which impedes, diminishes, or otherwise blocks the interests of a peoples' rights in such a way that the word "crime" is not sufficient? Maybe it really all does come down to behavioural and financial incentives. That is to say that it is probably war when the judicial, legislative, and executive lack the resources or will to address an injustice and the idea of "war" becomes the only answer. As radical as that may seem, it literally needs to be considered for every action ten years or more down the road at the current pace of technology.
