Background on Preventive Warriors:

The National Security Strategy released by the White House in September of 2002 lays out a plan for preventive warfare in which the US government reserves the right to attack any nation that aspires to what the government perceives to be a potential military rival or threat. Uniquely, this government strategy is available for the eyes of the world to see, openly calling for a policy of anticipatory warfare carried out with lethal force and largely classified justification. Some analysts believe that the wards in Afghanistan and Iraq were low-risk runs of this strategy fundamentally bent on forever preserving American economic and military dominance over every corner of the globe culminating in what many are calling the new American century.
