Steven Den Beste has written a very interesting article on the Bush doctrine. It’s a response to a post on Kuro5hin by a member named Termite. In that post, Termite says the following…
That any country in the world whose policies, leadership, or actions we dislike will not be allowed to possess nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? That any such country doing so will be attacked and have its government overthrown by us? Leaving aside the obviously impossible cases of India, Pakistan and China is this a doctrine we have the will and the ability to enforce? And will the rest of the world be willing to go along with us on it?
Erik Raymond tries to argue against that, but fails. So Steven responds. It is definitely worth a read.
