Iraq's a Loose Cannon, So U.S. Must Fire First
(Los Angeles Times) Avigdor Haselkorn - There is no way to deal with the likes of Hussein other than a preemptive strike. Hussein's actions cannot be explained using Western strategic concepts such as deterrence. During the 1991 Gulf War, Hussein repeatedly attacked Israeli population centers despite grave and ominous warnings from Israel. The more the U.S. acts unilaterally and the greater the perception that the U.S. is an unchecked and unpredictable power, the better it is for U.S. security and for world peace.
