First strike and your out!

Cheap shots aside in the context of foreign relations what 'you believe is nessacary' could apply to bloody anything, its utterly silly and becomes contextually irrelavent. 'Afghanistan helped train some guys that flew a plane into a building so we nuked everything from Saudi Arabia to India'.
Of course nations have a right to defend themselves with pre-emptive strikes, they are often nessacary, 1967 would be a good example but to put no limitations on it is plain dangerous. Sure you can claim it it was nessacary but its stupid, the maximum justifiable action has that keyword justifiable - you have to be able to rationally justify your actions to the international community and your own people.

The *world* is rather open-ended, don't you think?

What interesting nonarguement. Your point? It doesn't even make sense. I don't think you even understand what i mean, that statement is the political equilivent of a blank cheque, it can be used to valide utterly anything.

I've got an odd feeling were talking at cross purposes, you're off on another libertarian 'right to gun people down in the street for looking at you funny' rant and i'm talking foreign relations.
