Al,

Do you need a doctrine to act on such a disaster?

Not a disaster, but a potential disaster. A potential disaster that can be averted through pre-emptive action.

There are number of qualifiers, such as how imminent etc. but your categorical oposition to pre-emption seems like a knee jerk reaction to the current president.

The problems with pre-emption as the admin states it is that it also goes with pre-eminence, or the order of supremacy. This is not the basis for cooperation with the nations of the world.

That's an idealistic world. I real world, planes crash into buildings full of people. We can't wait for the idealistic world to catch up to make sure it doesn't happen again.

If it's a good thing, chances are others will agree and join.

Again you may want to take chances, but you don't have the responsibilities of the president of the United States.

Re: You mean the same UN that handed Libya the chairmanship of Human Rights Commission?

No, the same UN that bush bashed and he is now asking to help pay for Iraq reconstruction, while we refuse to give it any say over its future.

Why not give them a second chance? There is nothing to lose. As far as why refuse to give them any say? Because these is the organization that gave chairmanship of Human Rights Commission to Libya.
