Assured destruction: Bush's global strategy of pre-emptive attack
is based on two false premises, argues Dan Plesch: we are good, we can't
be bad; our law, our ethical system, is a luxury we can't afford in the real
world. It creates an anarchic system of international security.
Instead of agreeing to a strategy eventually likely to lock US sights on nuclear
China, the international community should work to eliminate all weapons of
mass destruction - including those belonging to America and Britain. [Guardian].
