Do YOU agree with the Bush* Doctrine of Preemptive Strikes?

Edited on Mon Oct-27-03 09:48 AM by Q
- The Bush* Doctrine is all about preemptive strikes against countries that may or may not pose a threat to the United States sometimes in the future. It completely disregards peace through diplomacy and negotiation. The Left can't accept the Iraq war/invasion and the 'axis of evil' without embracing the Bush* Doctrine of preemptive, aggressive war.

- Yet...many Democrats still insist that Bush* was 'right' to attack Iraq and depose Saddam. Their major complaint seems to be that there's no 'exit strategy'...not that the war was illegal and immoral in the first place.

- Democrats must stop supporting this war in any way. Yes...they must support the troops until the UN takes over...but this pandering to Bush* warmongering must end.

- Democrats are putting out confusing signals on this issue. This leads to confusion among voters who tend to believe Democrats support the Bush* Doctrine of aggressive war.

- Aggressive war is wrong and illegal, especially when countries are attacked using lies and false pretenses. Democrats must separate themselves from the Bush* Doctrine...or risk being perceived as supporting it and giving credibility to Bush's* run for the WH in 2004.

- Just say no to the Bush* Doctrine.
