"For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do is a really huge leap," says O'Neill.

What a curious quote.

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them..."

Which law of nature, or of nature's God, does O'Neill think the invasion of Iraq violates?

What an idiot. All nations act unilaterally if they are sovergn. If they meet with opposition they might cease or fail to act but every action taken is, at first, unilateral action. In these terrifying modern times, if we must wait until attacked before defending ourselves, we will quite quickly cease to exist....unless we act unilaterally and pre-emptually!

No to be a wise ass...but since you asked...how about, "Thou shalt not kill'?
