The U.S. has now given up the moral high ground.
I think this "aggressive campaign" sends a message to North Korea and China that the U.S. has now given its stamp of approval on political assassination and premptive strikes against preceived enemies.
If premptive strikes are now authorized under international law, wouldn't China use this as an excuse to attack Taiwan? Wouldn't Pakistan and India both now claim justification in preemptively striking each other?
We have set a very very dangerous and stupid precedent for the rest of the world.
This conflict is bigger than Iraq and Bush's legacy will long outlive Bush and whatever happens with his war.
