Er... terrorism *is* a crime. It's only in the US where it generates an 
hysterical response.
Treating it as a crime is how we defeated the IRA in NI.
We didn't do it by invading the 'supporters of terrorism' ie Eire and 
the US.
We used soldiers to make the job of the IRA far more difficult esp 
during attempted execution of terrorist offences, but for the most part 
we simply sent the police around and arrested the perps, put them on 
trial and sent them to prison.
