The Bush* Doctrine of "Pre-emptive Attack" ~ Good policy or not?
   
Is the Bush* Doctrine a true American Value? Is pre-emptive attacks a good thing and how far should it be carried. If we suspect you of being a bank robber should we bust into your house shooting? Do we no longer believe a person or group of people innocent until proved guilty or do we just accept the word of the Government whether it be Bush*/McCain or Obama/Clinton? IMO this Doctrine is sickening..and any candidate that endorses it is on the wrong track and does not represent Change..

7. sure has been bad huh?
   
It's driven China, Russia, North Korea, Iran... to build up their military and driven them away from the closer relations we had with them before Bush took office. Basically telling your enemies we engage in a policy of aggressive warfare in which we define we will attack you not to defend our country but because we feel your country is an ill defined threat. It's been a horrible foreign policy.

9. Let me make this easy - Anything the bu$h regime has concocted is not good
   
Nothing the bu$h regime has done is good for America or the world.

Only Oil Companies and Defense Contractors have made out on bu$h's deals

15. The question is attack not war
   
We just attacked a sovereign nation Somalia. Two weeks ago we attacked Pakistan. It was a Pre-emptive attack to stop some supposed terrorist from attacking the USA although they don't have any chance at all to protest their guilt/innocence. In Pakistan a house was blown up and ten people killed some were children.. It was a Pre-emptive attack that one of our candidates said in the last debates was a good thing.. I don't agree and am trying to find out if many here do agree.

Would you rather see dead Americans because we decided not to attack terrorists?

They should sign a petition:

We the undersign request that the US exert no pre-emptive military effort on behalf of our city even in the case of imminent attack and particularly if such information was obtained via waterboarding.


I dare the little the faggots.
