I can understand the argument for containment rather then premption, but there is nothing irrational about premption either in general or specifically with enforcing the violated cease fire agreements with Iraq and prempting Saddam from getting nukes that he might use against us or allies or our interests. I think the author of the article you posted should focus on making his case rather then calling the opposing idea irrational. Recalling that Hussein began as an American client, as bin Laden did, bin Laden was not an American client. Hussein really wasn't either. isn't he an argument for finally breaking with the myth that war solves more problems than it creates? Wageing war often solves more problems then it causes. Yes WWII caused tons of problems but WWII was started by Japan and Germany. If we didn't wage WWII but rather just let Japan have its way in the Pacific and not helped out against Germany then this lack of wageing war would have caused a lot more problems then our wageing of the war would have caused.
