"That's a little to broad. Isn't that what the police do?" Precisely the nature of the logic trap that the submarine-troll who started the thread was aiming for.

And then arguing that barbeques and hazardous waste incinerators are really forms of Arson.

"the systematic use of violence as a means to intimidate or coerce societies or governments." Actually, this is very nearly the definition of "war".
