Pre-emption seeks to stop an action before it can occur, in this case, a military action against a foe before that foe conjures the ability to resist it or to launch its own strike. Pre-emption is not a popular policy among academics due to its many flaws and assumptions but it has tended to resonate with ordinary people due to its simplicity.
