So you're now saying that Iraq was invaded so as to make an example of them? That is hardly a better reason, especially as before you were citing the threat they posed to the US as the reason fopr the invasion.
By the way, the "international community" didn't invade Iraq. In fact, the "international community" voted not to invade. The US and the UK invaded with some rag-tag forces from inconsequential nations making the sandwiches and orange squash for half-time.
