Why don't people see that what we're doing to other countries in the name of a "premeptive strike" is pretty much what was done to us.

Can you really blame them for wanting to cause us harm? What was our reaction? Let's bomb em! We should be thankful that so far the countries involved don't have the ability to get a bomb to us on their own. If they did we'd be playing a different ball game and maybe we'd stop acting like such a bully.

While I'm still against the concept of preemptive strikes, there's a big difference between directly targeting a civilian building and military action against another military (which is what the war in Iraq started as).
