Bill, GST's got you on this one. There was no provocation from the north. And based on the day-by-day account you linked, the provocation really came from the south. Perhaps you are thinking of Korea? According to researchers at the Library of Congress, the United States has never in its 213-year history launched a preemptive attack against another country. Depends on what you definition of a "country" is. Remember, we were quite an expansionist country for much of our history. Were we provoked into expanding westward to the Pacific - by force whenever "necessary?" More recently, what about Granada? Anyway, it is a made-up issue - whether or not there is precedent for preemptive attacks. Gore talked last week about it as if this is new ground in international law - it's not. I think the UN charter even allows for "anticipatory self-defense." Bob
