Very interesting logic. I have the right to possess an excelent "superweapon" (as a CVN) but you have no right to attempt to defend against it or counterbalance it. Extending this kind of "preemptive strike" logic in USA's overall strategic posture (military, diplomatic, trade/financial and technological) would probably result in "us against all" situations. Do the US really want that?
