Should Terrorism be considered a Criminal rather than a Military matter?
Historically "warfare" has referred to conflicts between Nations, Tribes, or Peoples, Terrorism is none of those but a tactic, and one that has been used by all sides in conflicts through the ages. That being the case, could it not be more effectively fought by expanded international cooperation in the enforcement of existing laws than by unilateral and often counter productive military actions?
The use of the military in defense of International Law is common practice, no one suggests local police forces engage in overseas campaigns, but in a Police Action the idea is to arrest and punish the criminals, not to invade and occupy countries.

No, the police don't have the resources to do much of anything against terrorism in most cases.
