Description
In his 2002 commencement address at west point, president george w. Bush offered up this defense of his administration's often moralistic foreign policy rhetoric: Months later, this remark was quoted, in part, as an epigraph to the "Champion Aspirations for Human Dignity" section of The National Security Strategy of the United States of America (NSS) (United States 3). Commonly referred to as the Bush Doctrine, the major precepts of the NSS expound a US self-defense policy of preemptive military action as directed against perceived terrorist and other national security threats to safeguard "our freedom, our cities, our systems of movement, and modern life" (31). The inclusion of the above statement implies that the strategy is predicated upon some identifiable normative ethic which logically begets preemption as a national security measure. And naturally so, for the document itself continually references the "moral imperative" (21) and "moral obligation" (22) of the United States.
