My premise was, and remains, that the pre-emptive doctrine - so poorly utilized to attack Iraq for no reason - gives threatened states a rational reason to accelerate any programs they may have had.

And my point is that speculation is fine in theory.

But there has been no evidence I've read to support your speculation.

In fact, the only factual example we have, Libya, tends to refute it.
