I will try to write more about this, but for now, read the article and ask the questions:
Is Israel’s blowing up the car of anti Israel militants, the same as our using drones against identified terrorists?
If the new rules of war allow such behavior, then what about armed conflict between nations? There are rules, you know!

What are we supposed to do concerning the lingering idea of pre emptive aggression? Pre emptive aggression is now called, as it was by Hitler and Stalin, pre emptive defense. It is the primitive notion that might makes right. Therefore, if I think you are going to hurt me and I know that you have a gun, then I am justified to go to your house and burn it down in order to prevent you from hurting me.
