Tim, Japan and Germany were the attackers, not the attackees. After Iraq, which nation will be next? What are the conditions that will determine when a preemptive strike is appropriate, and who died and made us king?

Technically Iraq was the attacker. We held up from rolling in on to Bagdhad to eliminate the threat they demonstrated by the invasion of Kuwait because they agreed to a cease fire that included inspections. They violated the cease fire agreement (again and again over years) so there is no more cease fire.

Of course it is also very true that if we do attack now we will be taking an agressive act against Iraq. The point is that there is a justification here that there would not be for attacking other countries that we are not very friendly with like North Korea, or maybe Syria or Iran.
