We’re going to war, and I sincerely hope that this war will be successful, swift and merciful. Like many Americans, I have great confidence that this will be the case. What really worries me is what we will reap from this doctrine of preemption that has come to the forefront of American foreign policy. Though it’s a bit late, both this major piece in Newsweek and this NY Times Column by Paul Krugman call the Bush administration on its bull-headed, unilateral intentions. This way of dealing with the rest of the world will clearly, inevitably lead only to more turmoil. We’re not securing our national interests at all with this action; rather, we’re all but ensuring many more years of global enmity towards the U.S.
