Thursday, during a live video streaming event from the White House, I got to ask President Obama a fair question, but one that is never asked of him in the mainstream media: “How is your PREVENTATIVE war policy different than the Bush doctrine, and can you refute the assessment of MLK that the US government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world?” - DT

Dennis, the real policy you are questioning is called US foreign policy. And there are different objectives to the US of foreign policy between Democrats and Republicans. Since WWII, the main thrust has been to democratize the world. There is good and bad in this objective. The good being everyone should be able to choose their own leadership. The bad, not everyone wants democracy. Then there is the economic angle behind the policy. This is where major difference occurs between Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans are more apt to use military force to influence and obtain their economic goals world wide. Democrats tend to prefer a more passive use of military and bargain for favor. The Obama administration over lapped the Republican military efforts. And once the military is unwisely put into play such as Iraq, there is no over night fix or reverse. How does America avoid the current predicament it is in? Reduce the numbers of Republicans that are in office. Republicans are running off an ideological script which ultimately puts the rich in control of the daily lives of everyone and the government is reduced to the servant of the wealthy. The so called Bush doctrine is really the Republican doctrine. Bush really wasn't of the intellect to devise his own doctrine

Thanks for the feedback everyone. This was a fun little side trip. Not sure I learned anything, or this question had the impact I wanted it to have, but not being live to follow up, I could not have expected much more.

Also, Mr. President and preventative war proponent, if Afghanistan can be attacked relentlessly because it was "the launching pad" for 9/11, why has nothing been done about Munich and Germany where the actual enactors of the violence against the WTC and Pentagon were based prior to moving into the US?

did anyone else notice that around 2:45 or so in the video it seems like obama gets confused and starts interchanging Afghanistan and Iraq in the sentence...he does say that combat actions are done in AFGHANISTAN...but are they?
