Bush Doctrine

The Bush Doctrine is a set of foreign policy principles developed by former President George W. Bush. It states that the United States should not tolerate any threat to its security or that of its allies, and should use pre-emptive military force if necessary to defend itself or its allies. In other words, the Bush Doctrine states that the US should not wait for an attack to defend itself or its allies, and can use force if necessary to prevent or stop a threat before it happens.
