What is the difference between a pre-emptive and a preventive use of force?
 
  a. Pre-emptive wars are illegal under international law because they qualify as wars of aggression.
  b. A pre-emptive use of force is launched because an opponent's attack is considered inevitable; a preventive use of force is launched when the attack is considered more likely than not to occur.
  c. The main difference between the two involves the amount of force required of each. Prevention requires more force than pre-emption.
  d. Preventive wars are launched without provocation.
  e. Both assume that an opponent's attack is inevitable, but a pre-emptive use of force assumes the attack is imminent.

Question 2

  a. pre-emption and prevention.
  b. winning and losing a war.
  c. threatening and not threatening to use force.
