Can you pick a better name for the "pre-emptive war" policy?

[DuctapeFatwa]

The regime may need to change the "pre-emptive war" doctrine's name before the election to stay competitive with the superior writing skills of the Democratic candidates' staffs.

Even if they don't, whoever gets the nomination will need to give it a more attractive new name. Let's help pick it!
