Isn't our pre-emptive strike policy the same as....?

Question

Executing someone because eventually in the future they might kill someone? Shouldn't you wait until they commit a crime or you can at least prove intent and planning?

Answer 1

Uh we do prove intent. Can you name a reason asides from blowing stuff up why someone would build a bomb?  

Answer 2

That sounds about right.  

Answer 3

It's like killing a spider; you are better off doing it while you know where he is, 'cuz you know it's just a matter of time before AHHHHH!

Answer 4

So what you are saying is that if all the 9/11 hijackers had been 100 percent known, we still should have waited for the attacks to do something

is anyone this mentally challenged

Answer 5

Preemptive strikes on other countries is criminal. Bush and his cronies should, but never will, be charged with crimes against humanity for it  

Answer 6

I think it might be better to compare it to telling the world that you are executing someone who is going to commit a crime in the future, all the while having the intent to go and steal his house & possessions once you have killed him
