I love these arguments that we had to pre-emptively attack another country because we feared that they "had the intention" of attacking us someday (though they had never done anything to us in the past).

It's the very same reason we spent the past 50 years opposing Communist expansionism.. They swore they would "bury us". Swore that they would destroy the West.

The only difference is that they weren't under the delusion that they would collect 72 virgins for sacrificing their lives doing so..

Maybe you should rethink your analysis of the mental perceptions of the miltant Islamic Fundamentalist movement.
