A threat based foreign policy, such as the present US one, works so long as the object of the threat has no nukes; no longer looks effective once the object obtains them. A pre-emptive attack on a nuclear power would almost inevitably require a first nuclear strike. It is unimaginable for the US to go that far without having been attacked first. Another little rope around Gulliver that the little people understand very well. As the Bush era of unilateralism ends, expect the think tank crowd to start cranking out a lot of idea pieces on a new US foreign policy, based on the lessons learned since 9/11. I don't think we will see any more neocon dream plans on the top of the list.
