The evolving debate about a possible U.S. military strike against Iraq is also, more broadly, a debate about the propriety of the so-called Bush Doctrine, according to which the U.S. has a right to preemptively attack any nation that could pose a threat. The case against a policy of preemption was cogently expressed by Morton Halperin, the former Pentagon and State Department official who is now at the Open Society Institute. "In declaring such a doctrine, we need to articulate something that we're prepared to have others do as well. This administration doesn't understand that," Halperin told the Chicago Tribune. "It's impossible to articulate a doctrine [of preemption] which would not justify an Israeli attack on Iraq--because the Iraqis are much more likely to use weapons of mass destruction against Israel--or an Indian attack on Pakistan."
