The threat of terror attacks must be forfended against, or 9/11's
happen, or worse. In our new post-WTC world, where a small group of
transnational terrorists can cause great catastrophe without significant
prior warnings such as troop movements, etc., and then disappear
either in the cataclysm or immediately following it, the only effective
defence is pre-emption. If nations which willingly or unwillingly harbor
terrorist training, financing, recruiting and/or infrastructure will not or
cannot pre-empt such threats to other nations themselves themselves,
the purported target nations, in the interests of pre-emptive self-
defence, are of dire and devastating necessity evolving the right to
either aid the willing states and coerce the unwilling ones into
eliminating the threats, or of doing so themselves. These are the points
that Henry Kissinger so ably made, and which you, or anyone else here,
have so far failed to address.
