Preemptive Action--The Wrong Approach

Recently the Bush administration has changed the US approach to foreign policy. This new approach, tagged "preemptive action", seeks to punish those who pose a threat to America before that threat takes a physical form. Under the policy of preemptive action, the Bush administration is lobbying to attack Iraq even after Iraq offered full access to UN weapons inspectors.

What are your thoughts on preemptive action? I personally feel it�s seriously flawed. For those interested in why I feel the way I do, check out the Peace Action website. I look forward to hearing from anybody who wants to discuss this issue further.
