This book calls for a new understanding of the grounds for war by defending preventive war as a valid method used by the great powers. In this book John Yoo argues that new threats to international security come not from war between the great powers, but from failed states, human rights catastrophes, terrorist groups, weapons of mass destruction proliferation, and destabilizing regional powers such as Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Iran. Point of Attack offers choice tools to bear on international legal rules to develop a new international legal regime that maximizes global welfare consistent with the realities of great power politics.
The world today is overwhelmed by wars between nations and within nations, wars that have dominated American politics for quite some time. Point of Attack calls for a new understanding of the grounds for war. In this book John Yoo argues that the new threats to international security come not from war between the great powers, but from the internal collapse of states, terrorist groups, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and destabilizing regional powers. In Point of Attack he rejects the widely-accepted framework built on the U.N. Charter and replaces it with a new system consisting of defensive, pre-emptive, or preventive measures to encourage wars that advance global welfare. Yoo concludes with an analysis of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, failed states, and the current challenges posed by Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Iran.
