Pre-emption is *not* flawed if the evidence is strong enough. If the US government has very reliable evidence that Mexican-sponsored terror groups are about to strike at Texas, and the Mexican government doesn't want to stop it, the US has every right (and responsibility) to stop that attack before it happens.
Not that I'm saying the Iraqi case is this clear, of course. It's just an example of when the concept of pre-emtion would be good. If you want further proof, I suggest you look at some of the wars Israel fought (and launched) against it's neighbors - they prevented their enemies from striking first, and won the wars.
