Abstract
As is well known, in the months after 11 September 2001, the United States developed its strategy for a �global war on terror�. This strategy, the Bush Doctrine, signaled a strong preparedness to act unilaterally and pre-emptively and identified an �axis of evil� � Iraq, Iran and North Korea � as its principal target. These states were singled out because they were deemed to be most likely to equip terrorist groups with weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
