While we're at it, how should we determine which preemptive wars to enter into? Which of the following conditions are sufficient? Which are nececssary for one reasoning for preemptive war, but not sufficient for that reasoning?
(a) State A will probably attack us, and has the WMD to do it.
(b) State A would attack us if it had the WMD, but it doesn't have the WMD, but we think they do.
(c) State A attacked us, and State B was friends with them, so we attack State B.
(d) State A commits atrocities.
(d) State A commits more atrocities than anyone.
(e) State A commits religious atrocities.
(f) Our President's father kind of went to war with State A to protect our ally.
Also please comment on how resources weigh in. Should we get into WWIII with 12 countries because of all the atrocity in the world? What about if we have oil interests there?
