(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is
consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to
take the necessary actions against international terrorists and
terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or
persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist
attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.


Acting in self defense is fine. Pre-emptively acting in self-defense
(e.g., killing someone before they can commit a crime) requires
accurate, even unimpeachable, evidence. Engaging in terrorism to
prevent terrorism is just plain nuts. Breaking the law to enforce the
law is always tempting, but ultimately self-defeating. The Bush
Administration, having no rational moral compass and relying instead
on half-understood populist appeals justified by delusions and
paranois, is caught in the quagmire of its errors.
