Date: 18 March 2003
By DAVID E. SANGER
David SANGER
Analysis: Pres Bush's speech announcing that he has chosen war cuts through debate over who has right to enforce United Nations resolutions or overthrow brutal regimes; he turns America's first new national security strategy in 50 years--doctrine of pre-emptive military action against potential enemies amassing weapons of mass destruction--into rationale for America's latest war; says it would be 'suicide' to wait to act until after America's foes strike first, in age of unseen enemies who make no formal declarations of war; during his presidential campaign, Bush spoke of need for 'humble' approach to world; he embraced aggressive view of America's duty within months of entering Oval Office, and it became his fierce passion after Sept 11, 2001; allies and political advisers say his gunslinging cowboy image, long dismissed by his aides, may now have its advantages (M)
