Hi Jim,

Pre-emptive strikes are per definition unlawful, as demonstrated in
Mad-eastern countries.

my opinion: in this particular case: spammers, e-mail virusses and worms
are the worst threat to (the usability of) Internet.

Next are uncontrolled/uncontrollable "law" enforcement agencies.

But that's just my opinion.
