Well, where do rights come from? Who or what would give one nation the right to attack another one?

If a state has the right to exist and to maintain its welfare, it has the right to assure its own existence and welfare through preventive measures.

If the USA has good reason to believe its existence or welfare are in peril through preparations being carried out elsewhere, it has the right to act in self defense, does it not?

If you know someone is going to shoot you, do you have to wait until the trigger is pulled to take action? To answer yes, you'd have to wait, would be absurd, would it not?
