Do Iraq and North Korea have a right for preventive terrorist strikes against USA?
Assumptions
1. Iraq is threatening USA
2. USA believe that the Iraqi threat is a threat against US interests and sovereignty
3. USA has a right for "preventive" attacks against Iraq
Now, further assuming, that all nations have a right to sovereignty, you would assume that North Korea and Iraq have right to develop nuclear weapons. But USA is threatening these countries because of their (possible) nuclear weapons. Thus, we have
1. USA is threatening North Korea
2. North Korea believe that the USA threat is a threat against North Korea sovereignty
3. North Korea has a right for "preventive" terrorist attacks against USA
See the similarities of both arguments
I will not start debating unless you can show some intelligent reasoning why USA has a RIGHT for preventive offensive wars while other nations do not.
