But personally, I'd prefer a more constructive way of solving problems than brute force. However, if there are countries where the *leaders* refuse to stop anti-American (and anti-Western) people from plotting terrorist acts, or are actually promoting such acts, then someone should do something about it. Sovereign nation or not, when your citizens are preparing to attack another country, or supporting people that attack, you are fully responsible for those actions. Either you stop them, or the country being targeted has to stop them, to prevent a potential massacre.
Remember, there's a difference between being "Anti-US" and supporting terrorist acts against the US. The former is perfectly okay, while the latter will get you in trouble, as it should.

hmm...if US can use this principle, why cant other people??
if the whole world followed this principle, there would be no tomorrow.
