Iraq is more like "pre-WW2", i.e., invading Germany
to take out Hitler before he invaded the rest
of Europe.

I don't know what to say to this, because it seems obvious that launching pre-emptive, unproven strikes to stop something from what might happen one day is not a working strategy.

It reminds me of the movie "minority report" did you see that?

Even in the case of Hitler, unless he DOES SOMETHING you cannot go in and blow the man up, especially if you are the worlds only remaining superpower. You cannot advocate his violent assassination on TV, none of that. This is obvious to a huge group of people but is not obvious to Bush supporters and I do not know why.

Is that why all of Iraq's surrounding nations opposed America invading Iraq? Because they forgot to think the war would be like pre-war Germany?

If anything is similar to World War Two here, it's that the United States, like Germany, invaded preemptively. Why do you think the United Nations is so deadset against preemptive invasion?
