Er...it is an example of why we need to crush our enemies before they attack us, the point of killing your enemy is to protect your interests so why the hell should you wait to get stabbed in the kidney before you fight back?

Your assertions that iraq was a threat are debatable. WMD? No conclusive evidence. How long did it take for us to conquer their army? Coupla weeks. Rwwaaaawr, watchout, its the iraqi army. Don't say they were linked to terrorism- if we really cared about that we'd be arguing about "occupied saudi arabia".
Anyways, now we've overextended ourselves. We can't back out because the administration would look like it did pre9/11. That is, clumsy and of questionable intelligence. In the process of liberating iraq we've also brought hundreds of thousand of americans thousands of miles closer to people who hate us(some for very valid reasons) and want to kill us. Why is anyone surprised that iraq is now filling up with actual terrorists? If you pardon the expression, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Wait, here's the antiwar disclaimer, "Now, i'm not saying saddam wasn't a horrible person, who ruled his subjects with greed and masochism", but if it is as you say, this was really about protecting our interests, not liberation.

It seems like if a society isn't very profecient at punching nature in the balls and collectively making it their bitch they are savage and primitive.

And killing savages is what any civilized society worth its weight in shit-handling velvet gloves should do best. You'd think that we'd actually make an attempt to understand some of their customs before we kill them for customary behavior.
