OK, some of your best friends tell you that I have a gun, and I am planning on shooting you with it. I have been known to kill many people in the past, so although killing you would be a mistake, I am not afraid to do it.
Now, I am a wiley son-of-a-gun, and I can shoot you before you can shoot me. In the old west, I would have been a gunslinger. I may not be able to kill you on the first shot, but I will definitely do some damage.
So you ask me "Do you have a gun?", and I respond "Probably", followed by some curse words. You ask to see my gun, and you get the curse words again. You want to talk it over? Not gonna happen. I hate you and everything you stand for.
So what do you do? Do you wait for me to pull my gun and shoot you, so that you can shoot back after you are already shot? Or do you take action, and shoot me before I can shoot you, simply assuming I have a weapon?
If my life was in danger, I would take action. So what is different about this and the Iraq war?
