34. I don't think we should use such absolute words like "Never"
I don't like the IDEA of preemptive war. It should ONLY be used as a last resort. However, I do realize that under CERTAIN circumstances, it might become necessary. I think its prudent and wise not to use words like "never" when we say we won't use such action.

We never know when a situation might arise when such intervention or preemptive act would be necessary. I say we take it on a case by case basis and not indoctrinate the practice (i.e. the Bush Doctrine). Preemptive war is necessary in SOME circumstances, but it should NEVER be the first option.
