¶ … Bush doctrine AND THE EMERGING NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY

The 'Bush doctrine' has diverse meanings especially in the enhancement U.S.' security. Nonetheless, the Bush doctrine is simply a defensive strategy that was created by the 43rd U.S. president, George Bush. The plan was designed and directed towards actions that should be done amidst the instantaneous danger to U.S. security. The Bush doctrine contained a number of safety principles that were termed as prongs, three of which are practical, while one is mostly impractical. The doctrine's first point held the notion that terrorists and the countries supporting them were not different and had to be treated equally. This was designed to manage countries that would pose some threat to the U.S. The second prong urged the U.S. government to take the first step of attacking the terrorists' breeding grounds before they make the first step of attacking America. This prong was supposed to change or thwart any possible attacks on the country. Moreover, the third prong urged the U.S. To attack the foes before they have empowered or enhanced their capabilities. This was to be taken as a safety measure for the protection of the country. The final prong urged the state to use the concept of freedom a tool of managing and waylaying terrorist. Such was also a strategy to contain any possible threats directed at the U.S.

With the coming National Security Strategy, the Bush doctrine is gradually paving way since it has suffered myriad criticisms. The National Security Strategy, which was updated in 2006, has different aspects as contained in the Bush doctrine. The National Security Strategy exists as a statement that sums the functions of the country as it sought to protect the American citizens and their interests. The National Security Strategy asserts that the duties and obligations of the country and the government are to manage the possible threats by using the existing powers provided by the constitution. The National Security Strategy further clarifies that with the greatness of the danger, there lies the importance of the risk of inaction. The National Security Strategy urges that in order to forestall and prevent hostile threats, the country will use every necessary action to act presumably on the rights of self-defense. Moreover, the National Security Strategy states that the country will never force its strategies to preempt threats on other nations. The National Security Strategy proceeds to say that the wish of the country is to use nonmilitary actions and succeed while it warns every country never to use preemption as a way of pretext for aggression.
