I think Israel has the obligation to respond as necessary to Iraq's use of WMD against her citizens. I think America has the obligation to protect her citizens from Islamists intent on using WMD against us... even if it means preemptive action.

Should we intervene in India or for some other Democracy or civilized society which is under attack from militant Islam... good question.

I have a scenario -

Iraq launches a scud at Israel. Missile defense systems shoot it down. It is quickly determined that it had a WMD payload. Should Israel nuke Bagdad at that point?

I think they need to make this clear ahead of time, and follow through on it.

Further, what about a detected incoming missile - should Israel "launch on warning"?
