#1 Won't make any difference in the world of realpolitik western style. Even OIF was a provocation for pre-emption such as locking in on our fly-over missions, snubbing the UN resolutions, posturing as if WMD's were for real and SH was getting ready to use them (again). A true preemptive strike is 12/7/41 and Hitler's march into Poland. But think about it - what democratic western state of American ally has ever preemptively struck out at another country in the last 100 years? Hell, even the sinking of the Maine was a provocation even if promoted by Hearst and his ilk - The Press!!

#3 REDDIT > WIRED NEWS = NATION'S SPIES: GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE MAY SPARK WARS. Ala the USGovt's new "US NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE THRU 2030" Report. US is also facing global/worldwide, intensive, MULTI-NATION/REGION INSTABILITIES DUE TO EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING.

US will likely also be facing a MORE MALIGNANT/MALICIOUS FORM OF ISLAMIST RADICALISM-TERRORISM THAN AT PRESENT.
