Should US Foreign policy be preeemptive? from a economic stand point?

Question

Viewing United States Foreign Policy in a economic matter.

Keeping NAFTA, KYOTO in mind.

Answer 1

Only if we're willing to see China/Russia/India/Japan etc acting pre-emptively in their own economic interests as well. The days of the USA being a special case, therefore different rules are over. So either pre-emptive policy moves will be executed by every nation when their leadership deems it, or everyone agrees that pre-emptive action isn't good for international stability and avoids it. It's a global economy now.
