This is a policy of pre-emption because deterrence no longer works. Deterrence is based on the assumption that people are unwilling to die. Deterrence will not work when people have been so conditioned by a culture of hatred and religious fanaticism that they will commit suicide in order to kill innocent civilians. The only way to deal with this new phenomenon of suicide bombers, and make it clear this will not work, is to go after them before they get us. But this strategy of pre-emption against suicide and terrorism will have to replace a strategy of deterrence for the United States and for Israel.

This is why there will never be real peace there..When people hold life with no value..what is there to preserve than a principle? In this case an insane principle.

These are a primitive pagan people that sacrifice their children

Pray

Pagans have nothing to do with. Your unwillingness to
see religion at work here is pure denial.
