That's why Levin is dead wrong on his interventionist view: whether you know of a plan by Japan to attack Pearl Harbor or not, you cannot say for sure it will happen until it does. If it does, there should be a retaliation, but not before. If you apply Levin's thought process to the Cuban Missile Crisis, it would result in our first strike of a nuclear war. This type of dangerous thinking by Levin should be medically treated.
