As you seem to acknowledge, the law ultimately devolves into the law of the gun. If you harbor terrorists, it may be considered an act of war. So don't harbor terrorists if you want to avoid a war. In the case of Russia and Dubai, I'm not suggesting that Russia is right merely based on the legal logic of the Bush Doctrine. I'm suggesting that Russia is right (also) based on the fact that they can kick Dubai's ass.
See, that's the problem with this "doctrine." It comes down to who can kick whose ass. I would have thought that several thousand years of history would have proven the folly of this as a political philosophy, especially in the post-nuclear age.
