Last month, Iran promoted the reckless idea of pre-emptive strikes advocated by President Bush. Far from being revolutionary, pre-emption is nothing more than a euphemism for a long discredited concept: old-fashioned aggression.
Following Iran's endorsement President Bush's pre-emption/aggression principle, Russia has now done the same. Following the country's school hostage nightmare, the BBC reports Russia plans to launch pre-emptive strikes on bases used for training militants, a senior general said earlier. "We will carry out all measures to liquidate terrorist bases in any region of the world," Gen Yuri Baluevsky said.
Yet again, the president's vision makes us and the world safer.
