I cannot believe that I am reduced to citing Sen. Joseph Biden: "This administration's effort to turn military pre-emption from a longstanding option into a one-size-fits-all doctrine says to rogue states that their best insurance policy against regime-change is to acquire weapons of mass destruction as quickly as possible--which is one reason North Korea's nuclear arsenal has apparently increased by 400% under this administration's watch. It gives a green light to India and Pakistan, Russia and Chechnya, China and Taiwan to use force first and ask questions later. And it requires a standard of proof for intelligence that may be impossible to meet unless we cut corners, as we did in Iraq."
