Memory fades? In the evening interview (I didn’t catch it) of Mrs Palin was asked about the Bush doctrine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gibson\u2019s description\u2014\u201cThe Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us,\u201d wasn\u2019t a good description of even the preemption element of the Bush doctrine (and his claim that the preemption element was enunciated in September of 02 is also incorrect), though Palin\u2019s answer suggested she didn\u2019t quite agree with Bush on the question of imminence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My impression was that the Bush doctrine was essentially that if a country chooses to actively support terrorism, it abrogates the moral right to exist, that is that any other nation may in good conscience attack it.
