To the editor: If you listen closely to what George Bush says, you should be frightened. First, he changed U.S. military policy from a focus on defense to one allowing pre-emptive strikes against potential enemies. Now, he has turned it into a policy that allows the U.S. to attack a foreign country if maybe at some stage in the future it could develop weapons that pose a threat to the U.S. Is there any country on the planet for which this could not be claimed?...
