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.
