Hasty generalization: you are drawing a universal conclusion from a single instance. In this case, you argue that the doctrine of preemption is a bad one because, according to some standards and not others, it failed in Iraq. At the very least, you would need to have more examples of preemptive wars failing before discounting the concept itself.

Politico, you must know that I would challenge you on this statement. You and I can both count the number of preemptive wars that the US has started. It is exactly ONE. How do you propose that we compare it to any previous preemptive war?
