First of all, no actions taken to defend this country from total destruction are "illegal" by definition.

How far out should we project that? Technically, any nation that is not the United States could potentially destroy us somewhere down the road. Should we just pre-emptively take over the world? Are you ready to pre-emptively strike China? I mean, they've GOT the ICBM's that can hit L.A., Chicago, NY...

I'm willing to "project that" as far out as the CIC discerns we need to take it.

If we had pre-emptively attacked China before they had the capability to arm themselves with ICBMs we wouldn't be in the position we are in today.

But since we can't change the past, yes, I would support a strategic strike against China post haste....especially if it means our long term survival or not.

And THAT is why we're in Iraq, in case you haven't noticed.
