Pre-emption?

Let's see. If the world now is operating according to Bush's pre-emptive philosophy, wouldn't Iran be justified in pre-emptively striking the US?


This is a comment I found on the American Leftist blog. It's in response to a post on Seymour Hersh's suggestion that America may be considering an invasion of Iran.

Actually I don't think Iran is entitled to a pre-emptive strike against America. Under the Bush Doctrine (ok let's pretend it was his idea) you can only pre-emptively attack a country if it definitely has no weapons of mass destruction.
