Reply #30: What exactly did he propose? How is it different from the present Charter

[Jack Rabbit]

In the piece from the Boston Globe, above, Dershowitz does not appear to be out of line with the presnet Charter. When he says that the Iraq War gave pre-emption a bad name, he's right. However, the reason for that is that what was called a pre-emptive war was in fact a preventive war, that is, a war of aggression with a lame excuse.

In order to know whether Dershowitz has any good points or whether they're as bad as you say, I have to know the details.
