The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

When there is a military build-up right on the other side of the border involving lots of tanks and military aircraft, and that country's leader is demonizing you to an unusual degree, attacking does not make you the aggressor. There is no duty to wait until you've had your airfields blown to bits.

Within its own borders, a country is free to conduct whatever military maneuvers it wants to.
attacking does not make you the aggressor
Actually, crossing the border with military might is the definition of aggression.
Additionally, the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 (USA is a signatory) forbids the Bush Doctrine (preemptive war).
Big clue: Just because USA.gov does something doesn't make it right.
In fact, WRT militarism in the last half century, what USA.gov has done has been the template for what -NOT- to do.

Had you been running Israel, you'd have let the country come to an end. You'd fancy yourself to be moral and ethical as you and your fellow citizens are dying. I don't find it moral or ethical to let them die.
The attack was obviously coming in a matter of days. Destroying the enemy works a lot better when you are dishing out the nasty surprise than when you are receiving it.
