Don't know if you're asking me, but I'm against pre-emptive strikes on anybody. Afghanistan, Iraq, or that annoying twit down the block who parks his car and leaves the stereo turned up to eleven.

Pre-emptive strikes can work in the short term but sooner or later you'll attack the wrong country or the wrong man.

Think about it, for godsake.

I believe Clarke's stories about his conversations with Bush & cronies, but his opinions are his own. Don't swallow the book whole, don't reject it whole. Any book.
