I have not communicated effectively -- my position is that pre-emption as a doctrine is a major change in policy that needs careful examination and discussion to ensure we are adopting a broad approach that will serve us well for some longer period of time and not just a temporary expedient that will create two problems for every problem it solves. It is a doctrine adopted in response to changes in the world that we all know need to be addressed in some manner and it should not by any means be dismissed out of hand. The published doctrine goes a long way towards trying to begin to justify pre-emptive attacks on particular countries. But there is considerable work to be done in fashioning any kind of broader international understanding and agreement on the legitimacy of this doctrine -- and there is considerable confusion as to what it implies for our future behavior and the behavior of other countries, notably India and Pakistan, or Israel for that matter.
