Suppose you could go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby? Would you be a hero or a baby-killer? That would be the ultimate pre-emptive strike. What if someone killed a baby today and said that in thirty years he would have been a murdering monster? Would that be the correct thing to do? Would we congratulate this person for saving us?

If Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, that does not mean he will use them - unless forced to do so. And to presume he will use them is similar to presuming that a baby will become a monster.

Bush is an idiot. He needs to be removed from office. He has no sense of what is right and wrong if he thinks a pre-emptive strike is the moral choice.
