ANd how is Iraq an instance of the use of "retaliatory force"?

In the cited editorial, Ghate was addressing the issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The strike against the Taliban - a supporter of, and host to, al Qaeda - was quite clearly retaliatory in nature.

Force against Iraq isn't retaliatory until, or unless, (a) link(s) were to be demonstrated between the Sept 11th attackers (or others, for that matter) and the Iraqi government. At this point, a war against Iraq would be preemptive.

Thanks in advance.

Not a problem.
