Taking the first pseudo-substantive point there...
Because George W. Bush is going to stick Saddam Hussein in a hole before one more U.S. citizen dies in a repeat of September 11, the Khobar Towers bombing, the U.S. embassy bombings or the USS Cole bombing;

Iraq has nothing to do with any of these.
The replacement of an Iraqi dictator with some other puppet will do nothing to stop any follow-up... it may make anti-US terrorist action more likely.

because he intends to act before an anthrax-sodden suicide bomber climbs aboard the F train to Brooklyn,
And bombing Iraq will stop this how???

As for the rest of that polemic, it's the cry of a bully who can't understand why his actions don't make him loved... coupled with a wonderfully diplomatic threat that if people aren't US 'friends', they'll suffer unmentioned but grim consequences.
If your 'friends' stick by you because of your bribery or threats, because they're bought by or scared of you... they ain't friends, and it's your problem not theirs.

Sad how the WSJ is fallen :)
