<But while the US does not 'rule out the right to pre-empt and use WMDs itself' it is really not in the position to lecture and expect others to listen to it.> That is my thought exactly. The US has never initiated a conflict of this size without being struck first or to come to the aid of another. And now the US is threatening first strike and dictating essentially who gets to do and own what and will use force to implement it. In the perspective of other countries, why are others not given the right to defend themselves without it being wrong. It seems as if the arrogance of the US, or at least the current leaders, has grown tremendously and the ring of cries from third world countries that the US is a bully now surely has some truth. I love this country, but I disagree with a number of the policies of the current administration in foreign affairs. We are just getting way to aggressive and "too big for our britches". That bothers me and again, in terms of finance and wealth, there is certainly an obvious bifurcation among the poor and wealthy nations, with some exceptions.
