Zusammenfassung:An adaptation from the remarks by David B. Rivkin Jr during his debate with Prof Alan Dershowitz about the preemptive measures undertaken by the US government to assure its national security at the Federalist Society's 2005 National Student Symposium is presented. Here, Rivkin concludes that public articulation of strategic preemption doctrine broadens deterrence, updating it to fit the exigencies of American statecraft. And, if deterrence, however buttressed, is unavailing, the execution of a preemptive option is the best way to assure US security.
