When we tell you that for example certain preemptive measures such as outlawing drugs, or drunk-driving laws ought to be put in place, you say "you can't move against someone BEFORE he does something to harm you."
Well, doesn't that apply in this case? Doesn't Saddam have the right to have the "Smallpox weapon"? And Liberine-speak would say that you can't do anything against him UNTIL he does something to harm someone else!
Seems like your Libertine cant only applies when convenient.
If you don't recognize the development of smallpox into a weapon of war, by a rogue state intent on our destruction as demonstrated intent to "harm others", you're an even bigger idiot than I thought you were.
When someone has a gun pointed at you do you wait for him to kill you before you fire back or do you kill first in self defense?
