You are muddling the meaning of “pre-emptive war”, or even “war”. I’m not trying to diminish the gravity of Yudkowsky’s proposal, but a missile strike on a specific compound known to contain WMD-developing technology is not a “pre-emptive war” or “war”. Again I’m not trying to diminish the gravity, but this seems like an incorrect use of the term.
