"Mike, how would you explain the Bush doctrine of pre emptive strikes."

As something Europe should have done vis a vis Hitler in the late 1920s and early 1930s


They didn't even need to - the French could have marched to reverse Hitler's takeover of the Rhine in 1934 based on the violation of the Treaty of Versailles. The Third Reich probably would have fallen if Hitler had been forced to back down. But the French and English didn't have the nerve, and Hitler had their measure. Not unlike Saddam's having the measure of the UNSC. In the 30s, lots of people thought they could shift their security responsibilities onto the League of Nations in just the same way. "Collective security and the League!" was the cry.
