Even if we accept the fact that the invasion of Iraq was justified on some level, an argument that I happen to disagree with, I feel that the doctrine of preemptive attack has lost much of it's credibility with the American people. I don't think the public is quite so interested in policing the world any longer now that they've had a reminder of just what war is all about. The saber rattling from our dear leader has definitely quieted down. I haven't heard any Republicans advocating the invasion of Syria for quite a while, an idea that was getting quite a bit of play early in the Iraq invasion.
