Those are all good examples and would have been far better for the discussion than calling someone a coward.

Preemption is against all rational concepts of justice and fairness. Only the strong of this world can be for preemption, never the vulnerable. To prefer preeminence only when in power is moral cowardice in my book.

Read what Bill Gross has to say about it

I suspect, however, that by invading "evil doer" nations, we may lessen our vulnerability but lose a piece of our soul in the process. Yes, I'm aware that Iraq is in noncompliance with UN resolutions and that its leader is a near madman. I'm also aware, however, of how absolute power corrupts and how we may be crossing a thin line. Preemptive attacks? Kill them before they kill us? No one has experienced such Hours in the United States before. I am heartbroken that it has come to this and I fear for my country's proud heritage and even more for its future

I can never support preemptive killings. Never. Not if my life depended on it.
